CALIFORNIA CHILDREN
TAUGHT BY WIRELESS
French Paper Tells Of Successful
Method Adopted in Western
United States.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS. March 10.--France alone
knows that many California children
are so far from school that they are
taught by wireless.
Here is what the principal evening
paper of Paris tells the French:
"In California, where the schools
frequently are far apart, and where
consequently pupils cannot attend
regularly, excellent use is made of
wireless. 1t is by radio that the pupil
hears his masters voice dictate a
text or problem to him.
THE pupil mails his lessons to the
professor for correction.
Evidently there is loss OF time,
but that is a small difficulty when one
considers the obstacles overcome"

Mellon Bond Plans Awaited.

Much interest is displayed in bank
ing and bond circles as to what Sec
retary Mellon will do in connection
with calling the remaining second 4A
per cent Liberty bonds, which he must
do under the terms of the act on or
before May IS, if he intends to make
disposition of these bonds on Novem-
Der 15 next, the callable date. 1t will
be remembered that early in March
the Secretary offered to exchange the
bonds for a new issue Of 312 per cent
3-5-year Treasury notes. On that oc-
casion some 81 800 900, 900 of second
4As were exchanged, leaving about
$1,676, 900 still outstanding.
There seems no doubt that the
Treasury Department intends, outside
of cash redemptions, to refund these
wartime bonds as soon as possible by
conversion into issues bearing lower
rates of interest Hence, although the
second Az s do not mature until 1942.
it is expected that they will not be
allowed to run beyond November 10
