RADIO DOWN
ON THE FARM

n EN ENTEEN thousand Indt-
y ana farmers have radio sets
IL In their homes, according to
an estimate of the L. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture. result of a
recent survey. In the whole
country moro than $4,000 rural
homes are so equipped.
The radio is fast succeeding the
mortgage in popularity as an
agricultural implement. Farm
radio sets only numbered 145, coo
in 1923 and 365. 10000 in 1924. In
1925 they have increased so per
cent.
The rapid increase is due. dry
and musty department officials
declare, to the farmers need for
prompt market information, to
the educational value of radio, and
its entertainment features.
Perhaps those are the reasons.
But a radio-owning farmer quite
resembles a human being. Like
the urban fans he has a set and
twiddles its dials more for enter
tainment than for instruction or
market information.
American agriculture expe-
riences periods of depression, but
the general prosperity and high
standard of living of the average
farmer is shown by the way he
quickly adopts new conveniences
and luxuries as they are perfected.
Not one farmer out of a thou

of scientific inquiry. Governments and states

power and that our public schools-for the
mass OF our young people can know no other
and our State universities, the crown of orr
educational system, may enjoy the priceless
advantages Of courses of instruction DESIGNED
to promote the acquisition of all knowledge
and may not be placed under restrictions to
prevent 1t, and that our teachers and profess
sors may be encouraged not to regard them
selves as the plant tools of power, but to dedi-
cate their lives to the highest of all purposes

From his address retiring president of the Amer

~ IF progress has taught us anything, it is
1 the vital need of freedom of learning.
If we have any assurance for the future, it
lies in education, in the dissemination of cor
rect information, in availing ourselves of the
investigations of science in the formation of a
sound public opinion which must rest on a
broad liberal culture.
But reliance upon education will be in
vain if we do not maintain the freedom of
learning. Perhaps that is the most precious
privilege of liberty-the privilege Of knowing,
of pursuing untrammeled the paths of discov-
cry, of inquiry, of invention. And like other
privileges of liberty, it is not one to be re-
served to few. 1t belongs to all, and the
only protection for all is that it does belong
to all and that society is thus assured its full
benefit
m HE question is now presented as to the
control of education in the public
schools. | do not propose to discuss evolution.
or particular statute and litigation recently
much advertised; or even constitutional issues
which, grave as they are, are of less concern
than sound public sentiment on the larger
question involved I desire in a noncontrover-
sial spirit to emphasize the vast Importance of
the freedom of learning in the hope that our
people instinct with the spirit of liberty will
not lay hands on our public schools and State
universities to set obstacles in the path of
knowledge.

NEW SHIPS LOG UTlLIZES
 CONFINED WATER PRESSURE

STOCKHOLM, Dec 31 tAP)-An interesting in vention for the accurate indication of the speed of ships and the recording of the distance sailed, has been perfected in Sweden, and the functoning of the instrument recently demonstrated before meeting the Swedish Shipowners' Association.
 The new log operates with margin of error of less than 1 per cent. compared with an error of much ten percent in the case of other logs ordinarily used by merchant vessels. It is based the principle that the pressure of water from the direction toward which the movement is made, var ies with the speed of the vessel. Extending down through the bottom of the vessel is tube with an opening the forward side the lower end The water level inside this tube varies less above level according to the speed of the ship ard the indicating mechanism has electrical con- nectons with the bridge which enables the nav gator tell instantly the speed of the ship and the distance sailed.

RETIRED OFFICERS
BILL Up IN SENATE
Beneficiaries Designated
MusrBe 80 Per Cent Dis
abIed to Receive Pay.

The emergency officers retirement
BILL after years wait on the
calendar, was before the Senate to-
day under unanimous consent
agreement calling for final vote.
Bearing the Endorsement of the
American Legion, the measure pro-
vides for retirement of disabled
World War emergency officers of the
Army and Navy under the same con-
ditions as applying to regular service
officers.
Emergency officers who incurred
disability of 80 per cent or more in
line of duty would be allowed to
retire, with an allowance of rs per
cent of service pay at time of dis
charge, in lieu of other disability
compensation.
Those who incurred less than so
per cent and more than 10 per cent
disa bility would be allowed to retire
with the rank held at the time of
discharge, but without retired pay. The
act would apply to officers serving be-
tween April 6, 1917, and November
II, 1918.
Senator Means, Republican, Colo
rado, Spanish War veteran, told the
Senate the bill had been Endorsed by
the representatives of more than
100000 veterans. He denied argu-
ments that the legislation was of a
class nature. pointing out that all
pensions had been paid by the Gov
ernment on the basis of rank of the
pensioner.
Senator Reed, Republican, of Penn
sylvania, a World War veteran, de-
clared the bill "unpardonably dis
criminatory." He said only 1850 vet
