RADIO AND YOUNG MEN

Radio owes so much to young men
that it is not strange that radio Is do
ing lot for them in return.
1t is generally recognized that anna
teurs have contributed more than pro-
fessionals to the enormous develop
ment of the new art. While the fun
damental principles and the basic ap-
paratus were designed and perfected
by engineers and scientists, it has
been the great army of amateurs
whose fresh, eager minds, and tireless
experiments have made some Of the
most useful and interesting applica-
tons of the principles of wireless
telephony.
What radio does for boys is an
equally interesting story. AS far back
as 1914, Hugo Gernsback, we'll
known radio writer, pointed out that
the radio was destined to be the great
est force in modern life for keeping
boys at home. He said even then
wireless was the strongest home agent
magnet for a boy. He added:
''His workshop, his small electric
laboratory, or the wireless den are
the most powerful home attractions
for the boy. Electricity and wireless
are coming, undreamed-of, world-mov-
ing forces. Don't kill the electric
spark in your boy. 1t costs little to
keep it going and some fine day 1t
will pay you and your boy handsome
dividends. Your boy has the electric
bug Thank the stars for the fact
that he is so deeply interested in the
greatest art that the world has ever
known. It's distinction, and besides
it keeps your boy at home"
These views are as true today as
when they written. At that time there
were probably not more than 100000
boys and young men in the world who
were interested in radio, whereas to-
day more than 100000 persons have
built their own radio receiving sets,
in addition to 100000 who have
bought them readymade. Further
more, the number of persons who are
constructing their own circuits is con-
stantly increasing. They are doing so
largely with standard parts bought
under brand names, getting good re-
suits, and having q lot Of fun doing It,
