COLUMBIA TO
Give PROGRAM
FOR SCHOOLS
Radio Service viii Offer
Subjects New to Most
Students.

indianapolis school pupils will
have a chance to hear very COM
plete school program, consisting Of
subjects not included in most curri-
cula, according to Sam Pickard, vice
president of the Columbia broad
casting system. The program will be
known as the National Radio As
sembly and will be inaugurated
early next fall. WFBM will be in
Guided in the list of stations car
rying the program.
The plan will bring to the school
house in the rural districts, as well
as the educational centers of the
metropolis, subjects hitherto I'M
touched by most present educational
systems.
Three Principles
Joy Elmer Morgan, editor of the
N. e. A. Journal, who is lending his
full cooperation to this new pro-
ject, lays down three fundamental
principals which he believes must
underlie this service to schools.
First: Material offered by radio
for schools must be of the highest
possible quality and accuracy. The
best, he insists, is not good enough
for the young people.
Second: Broadcasters must look
upon themselves as servants ready
to help education in which every
way the school system believes is
best, since the regularly constituted
educational authorities are resporl-
eible for the schools curriculum.
Advertising Excluded
Third: No element of advertising
must be included. The schools serve
all the people and can not lend
themselves to commercial activity.
The method of distribution of the
National Radio Assembly will be
over the nation wide network of the
Columbia broadcasting system, with
transmitting stations in.forty-three
cities throughout the United States.
The stations carrying this program
will be WABC, WCAU, WNAC,
WEAN, WFBL, WKBW, WCAO,
WAS, WADC, .WKRC, WGHP,
WBBM, wOWO, KNOX, KMBC,

The fundamental idea is to aid the
child in finding something outside
his school life which is of whole
some interest. The idea is not
mainly to bring something to the
school which the child has made,
but something which expresses his
individuality.
I'm all probability he will make
something with his hands, and If 1t
expresses his interest it not only
will fill his leisure time but it will
give him great pleasure and may
even lead to a career in later life.

THE DISCOVERY

Four hundred thirty-seven years
ago three boats anchored off the coast
of one of the West Indies islands and
deposited their brawny, but sea-weary
men who had appeared several hours
before from over the eastern horizon,
on that island to proclaim to the
world that new land had been found
and to plant the flag of Spain so that
future generations might study with
interest about the achievement that
everybody but the leader of the ex-
petition thought was impossible.
The party of men who landed on the
West Indies off the coast of America
Oct. II, 1892, almost two and One-half
months after starting, were lead by
Christopher Columbus and he proved
to his satisfaction that the earth was
round, thinking that he had landed OF
the eastern coast of Asia and that he
had sailed completely around the
watered globe, which belief he carried
with him to his grave.
The new continent had been dis
covered and the expedition was the
vanguard for the generations which
were to follow.

A TEST

Many obstacles during the span of
the human life loom up as insur-
mountable barriers and the one that
can brush them all aside, both great
and small, must needs be successful.
The tests of strength of will as well
as Drawn may come at any time and
in any line of endeavor, but the one
test that we have in mind has to do
with the spectacle that has held the
attention of the sporting world for
the past few days-the worlds base
ball series.
The Philadelphia Athletics as a
team and also Individually proved
themselves equal to the task which
presented itself to them and justified
the faith vested in them by the other
members of their league, that of car
rying on to the much coveted cham
pionship of the baseball world.
Twice during the progress of the
series of games did it seem they were
hopelessly beaten, but twice did the
spirit of the team urge on>the indi-
vidual or individuals whose turn it
was to make the play or vice versa.
In Saturdays game when their OPP
ponents were in the lead by the COM
handing score of to with only two
more chances at bat, every man on
the team proved himself equal to the
trust and staged the uphill fight that
won the game. This was team work.
In the very next game the young CEN
ter fielder, Haas. on the Athletic team
came to bat with everything resting
on his shoulders. The score was two
to nothing against his team and one
was on base ahead of him. Before the
10000 fans could grasp the situation
he had knocked home run and tied
the score which gave his team the
required spirit to come through to
victory. 1t was a wonderful achieve
ment in this particular line of work
and it was accomplished with the
spirit that will bring victory any
place and at any time.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1929-10-17

channels, the county board and the
state tax commission. If these bodies
grant reductions, have we then not
enough places where the taxes may
be paid? The county treasurer and
county auditor are on duty every day,
prepared to give information and ac-
cept taxes. AS far as we can see we
do not need to create another job,
there are enough offices in the court
house now. Another job will add 10
the tax burden that Mr.. Empey IS SD
much CD concerned about.
Mr.. Empey is an educated and we'll
versed man and presented many good
arguments at the tax meeting, but
we are not with him in creating
another job. He said that in Dosey
township the tax on wild land is
about S1.00 per acre now, expressing
the opinion that it is entirely too
high and the land owners will not
pay it. We fully agree with him that
the tax is too high and it will not be
a paying proposition for anyone to in
vest in such lands and pay such taxes
for years. They cannot come out or
it, they probably will not break even,
to say nothing of getting interest or
their investment. But there is n
cause for those high taxes and the
cause is generally right in the home
district, though that may be stating
it rather severely.
In the case of school district no
100 in Dosey township it may be that
it will be necessary for the state or
bond holders to come to the rescue
as the tax rate there is very excess
sive. but that is not all of Pine county.
