MANY SCHOOLS
EQUIPPED FOR
RADIO CLASSES
Programs Are Broadcast
for WLW Station at
Cincinnati.

Plans are being made to equip
many Indiana schools with radios
to receive the daily program Of THE
School Of the Air" being broadcast
from station WLW of the Crosley
Radio Corporation at Cincinnati, o.,
under the direction of the education
department of Ohio State univer-
sity.
The programs we're inaugurated
two weeks ago, and thousands of
telegrams, letters and phone calls
have been received from listeners in
Ohio, West Virginia, Tennessee,
Kentucky, Michigan, Illinois, Mary
land and Indiana. Hundreds of
expressions of appreciation have
been received from schools using
the program.
Used by Ohio Schools
John L. Clifton, state director OF
education, and B. H. Darrow, di-
rector of radio of the Ohio depart
ment Of education, predicted that
by Feb. l the number of listeners
in Ohio school rooms would be
trebled.
Il am not chiefly encouraged
by the great size of our audience,
but by the manner in which the
children do everything we ask of
them" said Darrow. ''They rise and
sing America! the Beautiful They
give the oath Of allegiance. They
go to the blackboard and make out
lines and they answer the questions
of the radio teacher for their reg
ular teacher to hear.
Already several hundred Ohio
classrooms have been equipped with
radio SETS" Darrow said, land
schools are reporting as listeners
that we did not know were
equipped.
Nearly all of these sets were
purchased by Parent-Teacher as
soeiations, Chambers of Commerce,
various luncheon clubs and through
money they raised by the giving of
school entertainments, and by pub
lie spirited citizens. Since the pro-
grams were started we have re-
ceiyed word that many additional
schools are preparing to install re-
ceiving sets and take advantage of
the lessons.
