PUBLIC HEARING
THURSDAY ON
FREEBOOKS

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. IL
Harris Hart, State superintendent
of public instruction, advocated
the free text book bill Of Delegate
Wilbur c. Hall, Of Loudoun county,
at an informal discussion Of the
measure in the House committee
on schools and colleges.
The committee has set Thurs
day, at 8 o'clock in the evening,
as the date for a public hearing
on the bill in the hall Of the House
Of Delegates.
Hart summed UP his arguments
| in favor of the bill briefly as fol
lows: II believe that the State can
buy the books in bulk cheaper than
individuals can bay them and pro-
vide more efficient distribution, so
that teachers will not have to mark
time in the opening days Of the
session while pupils are delaying
getting the books they need to
start work with. The State will
own the books and the students
will return them at the end Of the
session. The life Of each book
will be heightened, so that fewer
books will be required than are
now bought every year.
II regard the supplying Of free
text books to school children In
the elementary grades as the
biggest thing you can do In the
equalization Of opportunity" he
told members Of the committee.
IF you will do this and then get
rid Of high school tuition fees in
those counties where they exist.
it. will be a great improvement
for education" he said.
Delegates z. A. Mcintyre, Of
Warrenton, stated that he favored
the bill. He felt. however, that
text books were changed too
often in the public schools. Hart
replied that there have been only
FFtWo book adoptions in the ele-
mentary schools in Is years, one
in 1915 and one in 1922. He
said that the feeling on the part
of the public that books are con-
stantly being changed came from
the requirement of new books as
children became promoted from
one course to another.
Raymond SisSon. Of Emmerton,
spoke in favor of the principle of
free text books, and L. N. Davis
opposed 1T because part of the
money to buy the books would
come out Of the rural equaliza-
tion fund. John S. Battle, of
Charlottesville, asked where the
annual funds in the future for
the State purchase of books would
come from.

E11-Fruit-growers In this section
have displayed concern over the
publicity which attended the
cedar cutting and cedar rust &C
tivities in the shepherdstown

fact that the notoriety has been

present the growers side of the
case and tending to direct senti-

rance of the facts or deliberate
Misrepresentation. they pointed
out, for proof has been offered
in a hundred different cases.
The growers also pointed out
that cedar rust is almost as fatal
to the cedars themselves as to
apple trees and given long enough
period it would take care of the
situation itself by killing the
cedars. They point out that
thousands of dollars have been
lost through stunted apples and
stunted apple-tree growth that
was caused directly by cedar
rust. some estimating the cost
to run as high as three-quarters
of a million dollars.
It also was pointed out that
entire orchards have produced
inferior, hardly-saleable fruit in
Berkeley county and the periods
of heavy infection were increasing
steadily until cutting of the
cedars was completed partially.
During the past two years there
has been no complaint Of cedar
rust except from isolated spots,

Men. 1t turns out, are greater writers
of fan letters than women. I had
suspected something of the sort, but l
never checked by own mail to find out
and even now I'm not sure the mail re-
ceived by any one person or program
would be fair gauge. However, have
Just learned that of the more than 200,-
600 letters received at our studios in
January, more than half were from
men, counting out. that is, the letters
received on several programs designed
to appeal to children.
Women, however. write much longer
letters. A man has to be pretty thor
oughly interested or annoyed at some
than a hundred words. There is an
exception, too, in the case of old men
whom something on the air sets to
reminiscing.
Few From GuShy Women.
AS to whether the most interesting
or the most intelligent letters are
written by men or women, have been
unable to decide. I think there are
fewer letters from gushy women than
from know-it-all men. But that still
doesn't mean anything. because among
letter writer's there Is more feat OF
of, fy1ci nf
appearing cocky.
That 200 of which spoke was only
small part of the fan mail that was
written in the month of January, for
there was a great deal written direct
to sponsors of programs and to indi-
vidual artists which did not pass
through the studio mail department.
That department, by the way, is
charged with seeing that every letter
1t handles reaches its proper destina-
ton. If a letter refers to more than
one program, copies are made and sent
to the persons concerned. If there are
criticisms, favorable or unfavorable, all
the persons concerned with the par
ticular program see them and take &C
count OF them as guide for the future.
Mere bulk of mail may indicate that
program is a success, but it is the
letters telling what listeners like or dis
like about program which those re-
sponsible for it pounce upon with glee.
Broadcasters, incidentally, are receiv-
ing many times the amount of mail
they did few years ago. That Janu-
airy mail-209, 900 is more nearly the
correct figures 5000 more than our
studios received during all of 1926.
And, believe it or not, individual let
tiers get much more attention than they
did then. I'm wondering what the
total for the year will be. Is it too
high guess to say that radio listeners
