100000 TO
FOLLOW RADIO
DURING WINTER
Expect Half of U. S. to
Become Fans Soon


WASHINGTON, Oct. g.
American radio leaders gather
ed here today to perfect voIun-
tary agreements that are neces-
sary to assure entertainment
for 25,000,000 wireless devotees
this winter.
Newspaper men, representa-
tives of the big broadcasting
stations, scientists, government
experts and manufacturers of
radio equipment were included
in the delegations.
Spend S4oo,ooo,ooo.
Authorities estimated that nearly
$500, 100000 has been expended in the
last year for radio equipment and that
within five years half of the people
of the United States will be among
the nightly listeners in" to the
various broadcasting services.
Secretary of Commerce Hoover, who
opened the convention formally to-
night, said today that the program
calls for ALLEGATION of wave lengths,
studies of interference problems and
a campaign to obtain from congress
adequate regulatory legislation.
Not only are there questions of or
derby conduct between the multitude
of radio activities in which more
authority must be exerted in the in
terest of every user whether sender
or receiver, but the question of mon
opoly in radio communication must be
squarely met" Hoover declared.
Predicts Monopoly.
1T is not conceivable that the Amer
lean people will allow this newborn
system of communication o fall ex-
clusively into the power of any in
diyidual group or combination.
1T cannot be thought that any
single person or group shall ever have
the right to determine what communi-
cation may be made to the American
people"
Will He Make Good2
Hoover placed himself against cen
sorship Of broadcast material either
by individuals or the government.
While favoring a free development Of
radio communication, Hoover EN-
phasized the necessity of further legis-
lation. He said the problems involved
in government regulation are "the
most complex and technical that have
yet confronted congress-"
Among the subjects for considera-
ton will be division of wave lengths
among the several classes of stations,
possible revision OF the coming plan,
power requirements and limitations,
improvement OF programs, revision OF
class requirements and the question
of licenses for operators.

u. 5. MONEY TO
Win french AID
TO WALL Street
Line Up Paris Diplomat
Against Soviet Russia
BY LAURENCE TODD

Federated Press Staff correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Oct. g.
Discovery that official spokes-
men of the United States gov
ernnnent--Which means the
Coolidge administration-hase
"unofficiaIIy" suggested to the
French government that the
American people will give the
French $2,O0O,00o,OO0 in inter-
est charges on the war debts in
the next ten years, if the French
will agree to a refunding of that
debt, has been confirmed here
from absolutely authoritative
sources.
This secret deal was proposed
before the French accepted the
Morgan-Dawes plan of collect
ing reparations from Germany.
1t may be taken as the price
which Morgan & Co. decided
their American subjects should
pay for the acceptance by
France of a Reorganization of
Germany.
VIII Accept Default.
In detail it is a proposal that France
refund her $4,000. 900, 900 debt to Am.
erica, on condition that a ten-year
moratorium on interest be given by
America. Ten years. interest at five
per cent on $4,000, 100000 is $4,000
900 900.
This is the first installment of the
European default on the war loans
that the United States is to acknowl-
edge; others, more serious by far,
will follow if Europe does not find
some magical means of paying.
This offer of two billion dollars to
France, coming just at the time when
Mr.. Hughes is most anxious to pre-
vent France from recognizing Russia,
might be construed as having an anti
Russian significance.
However, its chief purpose is re-
ported to have been the bringing of
the French politicians into line for the
Morgan-Dawes' scheme, like the secret
clauses underlying most of the Eu-
ropean treaties.
Try to Strengthen France.
It's effect, if accepted by the French
government, would presumably be to
strengthen the franc on the Europe
an exchanges, and to impress the
smaller states of Europe with the val
ue Of French alliances.

Colby Library
UndergOes Changes
During Past Year

During the past year the library
at Colby college has gradually chang
ed under the able supervision Of
Prof. Ernest G. Mariner. the college
librarian. Some of these changes
are apparent only to the keen obser-
yer while others like the install ton
of the new desk lights and overhead
electric lights in the stacks are to
be noted by the casual visitor.
Last summer Professor Mariner
succeeded in having nearly 1000 VOL
umes of the history library transfer
red to the college library from the
old history library in recitation hall.
At that time the college librarian be-
lieved that the wrong idea was fol-
lowed in placing these reference
books outside of the college library.
Formerly these books could only be
used with the permission of the head
Of the department and received them
at the convenience of this profess
sor. Now as the librarian has trans
ferred all Of these volumes. to the
college library they may be had at
any time by both students and pro-
fessors.
The library this year is following
q new scheme of charging reserved
books to students. Students who de-
sire these reserved books sign for
them at the desk Of the librarian or
his assistants either at or before the
hour that they are to be used. II a
student uses a reference book in
economics for two hours In success
sion it is set down in the records as

Second Essay on
Educational Week
By w. H. S. Student

In the observance OF NatlOnal Ed
ucation Week the following essay has
been contributed by Edmund NJ.
Sweeney of Waterville high school:
"A Word About Patriotism" by Ed.
mund M. Sweeney
IT is really sad fact that the word
patriotism" is used so often as
though it had but one meaning.
True, Webster's standard dictionary
defines patriotism as ''the love Of
ones country" Yet few stop to con-
slider the numerous ways in which
this provision may be carried out. If
one should ask if his neighbor vas a
patriot, he would be scoffed at for
uttering such an absurd question.
Does he not remove his hat when
the flag passes by? Does he not
participate in public demonstrations
of true citizenship? Does he not
display the Stars and Stripes on all
holidays set aside by the govern
ment?" Yes. he is a patriot in the
eyes of his community. but is he n
patriot deep in his own conscience?
From far and wide one hears the
cry that no man is perfect. that We
must be Reminded Of our faults in or
der to remedy them. That Is the
chief reason for which American
Education Week has been inaurur-
ated. to point out to the citizens of
the United States wherein they may
improve. One department which
needs the entire support of patriots
is education. On November IA, in a
public proclamation designating No

PUBLIC SCHOOL
SYSTEM EXPLAINED
TO W0MAN'S CLUB

C. T.. Glover. Superintendent OF the
Wateryille public schools, gave talk
before the members of the Business
and Professional Woman's Club last
evening at their regular meeting on the
origin and development of the puphc
school system in New England
Mr.. Glover started with the settle
mept of the New England states oY
the pioneers and the early New Eng
land home which was more or less iso-
lated. He said that then the head OF
the family worked at home as did the
sons on the farm and practically all OIL
the necessities Of life were produced
on the farm, such as food and cloth
ing. very simple education was
needed. such as reading. writing ana
spelling. The principal purpose OF
teaching people to read at that time
was so that they could read the Bible
as there were practically no other
kinds of literature to be had.
The next step was the village home
az the population of this part OF the
country grew. Then came the nrst
changes in education. The father ana
the older boys worked in the FACTORY
or store in the village and they needed
little more education than just read
ing. writing and spelling. This
brought about the formation of the
first common schools and the courses
taught there were reading. writing.
arithmetic and spelling. AS the occu-
nation of the family head changed. the
school system changed also. and then
came the first text books and courses
of instruction.
Mr.. Glover spoke of the great change
that has come about in living condf-
lions within the past so years. Now
the boy has to do but few chores
about the house. such as bringing in
wood and splitting the kindling for
heat is mostly supplied by coal and
gas. The girl does not have to run
the sewing machine and make her own
clothes as much as clothes can readi-
ly be bought in the stores ready made.
Cooking is not emphasized as part OF
the daughters training as much as 1t
was years ago because nowadays the
food can be bought in cans and wrap
ped in waxed paper and all that is
needed is a little heat to make 1t ready
for the table.
Even music comes to US all pre-
pared" declared Mr.. Glover. Tine "a
dio furnishes it ready made and the
phonograph is in many homes. We are
living in a highly specialized age
where most OF the jobs are done oy
machines, whereas the father formerly
did his own work and now all he does
is tend a machine.
supt. Glover stated that ufess Inc
