CROPS AND IGNORANCE

A vicious circle, in which children,
cotton and ignorance figure, was re-
Gently described by the Progressive
Farmer, witch, although referring par
ticularly to the South, may be in evil
dence in other sections Of the coun-
try.
1t appears that farmers of GER
tain community had voted against
a longer school term, because they
couldn't spare the children from
the fields" At the same time the
South was raising such a surplus crop
of cotton that it would not bring the
cost of production. Thus:
Children are kept out of school to
make surplus crops that cause low
prices that bring poverty that keeps
children out of school and so on.
The result is an amending sequence
of poverty and ignorance. To keep
children out Of school for work in the
fields-or in factories, either-is q
short-sighted policy, a moral and eco
nomic folly, crime against child
hood.

Today, there are more engineers
working on radio problems than ever
before, and these problems cover every

expect something fore practical along
that line.
For the coming year, then, we may
look for more selective receivers with

Having devoted last weeks space
to a resume of the radio progress
made during the past year, it will not
be aliliss to now consider the probable
tiles of radio development during
1927. If we take into careful consider
alton the reasons for most of the ra-
dio improvements and the efforts
which are being made to overcome
radios weak points, and temper our
conclusions with a consideration of
the problems and progress of previous
years. we should be able to make fair
ly accurate predictions ;as ito what the
new year will do for radio.
Most radio improvements are due
first, to efforts to meet new radio con-
editions; second, to new requirements
of radio listeners; and third, to tire
less research on The part of many ra-
dio engineers in various phases of
IdulO SCltICc. HQS VIC IHdy CAPSSe
that in 1927 the increase in the num-
Der of transmitting stations and the
widespread use of the higher powered
transmitters will make necessary the
development of receivers which are
still more selective than the average
sets we are using today.
Even though we do get some much
needed radio legislation it will not be
probable that the present number of
stations will be materially reduced
for some time. If this is so, the radio
manufacturers will undoubtedly build
their receivers to have selectivity
sufficient to meet the greater inter-
ference which prevails.
Fans Want Quality
We may reasonably expect new re-
ruuirements of radio listeners to have
their effect upon the new sets of this
year. 1t is a fact that seasoned radio

pact than the present models, and
more suitable for steady and clear
medium range reception than for ex-
treme DIX. They will be much more
standardized, have better and more
simple appearance and have much bet
ter mechanical construction. They
will, of course, be commemorative,
and will tend to replace many of the
hame-made sets of today. 1t is very
unlikely that the new year will bring
any startling or revolutionary changes
in the radio art.
