Keep Them Young
| Educators, along with the general
mass of people appear to forget how
little time one can be young and how
relatively long he can be old. The
hurry to graduate children early from
school and the stress upon their men
tai development at the expense OF
their physical well being is mistake
of this decade. One of the marks OF
this mistaken notion is the large
amount of home study required from
young children who already spend i've
of the best hours of the day in the
school room. With the present curri-
culum, the good teacher will find
remedy by substituting longer super,
vised study periods for the usual
mode of continuous recitation with
too much talk and chatter. AS rule
the poorer the teacher, the more home
work required.
Unprejudiced Jury
Can there ever be one any more!
Shutting juries up in one room while
they reach their decision is like lock
ing the barn when the horse is stol-
en-" altogether too late. How can
any thinking person whose opinion is
worth anything in these days OF daily
papers and radio, avoid drawing con
customs aside from the evidence that
will determine his decision? :.
1t is claimed by the defense counsel
of Fall and Doheny n the oil lease
probe, that a radio speech of Senator
Walsh may have had listeners IN 4o',
600 homes including those OF grand
jurors who probably heard points not
allowed as evidence, that would preJu-
dice their convictions.

It's Different Now
TN the elder days of art
Builders wrought with greatest
care;
Each minute and unseen part,
For the gods see everywhere.
In 1907 there was built the second
pipe organ in America and installed
in old Peace church at Nee la.lcsburg,
Pa The keys we're of W'oo>l and there
were but six stops. However, when
there. were 800 pipes. This
organ is still in use, has never been
repaired, and perhaps strangest OF all,
was for fifty years not only church
fixture, but stood in a school room
FIVE days OF the week, for that was the
secular use made of the. church dur
ing that long time The school chill
dren, too, of those days, should be
highly credited for such a record as
this.
Radio Photo
Basic patents have now been grant
I'd company for the transmission OF
pictures by radio. They will establish
and operate transmitting equipment,
and lease receiving APP
and continue research for per
lection of the machinery. Initial in
stallations are being made and the
whole country will soon be covered
with a network of radio photo sta
tions. The laboratory, which is per-
fecting this new radio invention is at
D. c., and the inventor
is Frances c. jenkins, who is also
credited with the invention of the
first motion picture protector. Broad
casting of pictures from central sta
tion to any other stations with SINH
lar power of wave length will be pos
sible, exactly as sound broadcasting is
effected.
Radio on Train
The first transcontinental train ra-
do was tested this week between
New York and Chicago. The broad
cast signal was received 900 miles, A
transmission from Hastings, Nebraska
was received east of Pittsburg A
number of receiving sets have been IN
use on private cars of the different
railroad presidents but this was the
