"The average citizen requires great
er opportunities than the one who
starts with his goal in sight He Is
more easily discouraged he is poor IN

"When grandfather came here there
were no schools. 1t was with great
deal of sacrifice that they established
the little log school house and paid
the teacher to instruct our fathers
"Our fathers, also by a great deal of
self denial established our present
system. We are proud of it for
through their love for us they tOiled
and sweated, and deprived themselves
of many of the comforts of life, in
order that we might enjoy far greater
opportunities than they had received.
But they did not consider their system
perfect. They only did the best they
could for us with the expectation that
we would take up the work where they
left off. Can we do it as unselfishly
as they did and just do the best we
can. and sacrifice little for those
who are to follow? We may not all
get the notion at the same moment. but
we finally work around to it, for civili-
zation may advance only on this princi-
pie.
did you ever notice that after the
sun has passed the meridian in our
short day of life, and we pause to
look back over the days work, that
the things that seem to count for the
most with us are not the money we
have made, the victories we have won.

the signals are strong enough to be
heard fairly clearly when very good
make of loudspeaker is used.
Best Results With Headseta.
In general, however, all reception
with crystal detector set will have
to be done with headphones. While
this method is not as easy and COM
Portable as loudspeaker operation. the
quality of music and clarity of
speech as heard with phones cannot
be surpassed by the best of loud
speakers.
The use of the phones eliminate
the unknown and variable quantity
OF the acoustics OF the room in which
the receiver Ia operated and the
smaller size of the air column which
need be moved by the hesdphone dia-
phragm eliminates to q considerable
extent the amount of distortion which
is often found in even the best speak
ers.
In conclusion, IL you are located in
a large city with plenty Of broadcast
ing stations, do not try to us0 a crys-
tai set, but If you are located In q
section served by only one or two sta
tions you can get good crystal detec-
tor reception without any trouble.
The great advantage OF q crystal
set lies in it's very low firgt cost and
its negligible cost Of npkeep. There
are no batteries to. become discharged

Of such q set is so simple that chances
of anything getting out Of order are
practically nil.

While the great increase in the
number Of broadcasting stations has
done its bit to add to the variety of
programs and consequent enjoyment
Of the great mass of radio fans, it has
also taken its toll of the number of
crystal detector receivers that were
once 30 much in vogue.
There is no question about the ef-
MOiency and advantage to. be gained
from the operation of crystal de-
tertor receiver, but time has moved
en- apace and it seems that in the
large broadcasting centers at leost
