be attributed TO the inactivity of bust

the direct result of lower commodity

Finds Radio Cuts
 Down Illiteracv
U. s. Commissioner of Education Fact-Finds for
 Entertainment

Washington.-Ther has been a marked decrease in illiteracy in the United States in the past ten years and it's in no small measure due to the influence of radio.
 Such is the opinion of William John Cooper, U. S. commissioner of education.
 Statistics revealed by Cooper show that only 4.3 per cent of the population of 10 years of age and over were illiterate last year, whereas ten years ago per cent were illiterate. The actual de- crease in illiteracy was 13 per cent during the period, since the pop ulation increased more than 16 per cent during the decade.
 Tests Prove Figures
 Experiments conducted by ed- ucators have shown that unques- tionably radio has been an infiu- ential factor in the reducing the number of illiterates both directly and indirectly" Cooper reports There are many unfortunate folk who know not what they know not, and radio has been a factor in eliminating at least one of these know nots.'
 Radio has been acclaimed by educators as a factor in improv- ing the use of the English lan- Euage by the populace. With na- tion-wide networks, the voices of announcers and radio orators, all cultured and educated, are carried into every village and hamlet.
 The vocabularies of their Iis- teners, as an inevitable result, are enlarged.

 While the advantages of radio in reducing illiteracy have been most encouraging during the past decade, they are destined to be- come even greater in the future through the formation of scientif- fcaly devised radio educational pro- grams" Cooper predicts.
 The U. s. government is realiZ- ing the value of radio in educating the public and experiments are be- ing conducted daily by special committees appointed by President Hoover, by colleges and universi- ties.
 Plans are now being form mulated in the offices of the secretary of the interior for broadening the campaign to spread education by radio.
