Secondary Radio Education.

To give every one in the United

part radio is destined to play in TWEEN
tieth century schooling. according to
Ira Cammack, superintendent Of
schools of Kansas City, Mo-, and a
pioneer in teaching by radio.
Radio will make United States citi-
zens the best educated people of all
time" Supt. Cammack predicted
while here for the school super
intendence meeting, lin two ways
first, by conveying instruction to
adults who were compelled to leave
school prematurely, and, second, by
making methods of teaching children
more practical.
Boys in Kansas City whistle grand
opera music more than jazz tunes.
why? Because radio has made
their musical education much more
than a weekly hour of singing 'do-re-
meta and SO on up the scale. Teach
ers tell them to tune in every Sunday
evening and hear the greatest artists
singing and playing in the A. Atwater
Kent radio concerts. They do this.
AS a result, Kansas City schools,

hope soon to produce a second artist

The plan calls for the issuance of a
