Public Schools to Sponsor
Programs for Hospital,
Sanitarium Inmates.

Good cheer and good music will
be the aim of the series Of raiod
programs which will be broadcast
especially for Shut-ins in the hos
pitfalls and sanitariums of the city
by the Indianapolis public schools.
First broadcast will be made
about the first of the year, If pres
ent tentative plans materialize.
The programs will aim to bring
happiness and teaching to the chill
dren of school age who are conval-
escing in indianapolis hospitals
and SanitariumS.
William A. Evans, director of pub
lie relations for the schools, who is
in charge of the programs, recently
has completed a partial survey of
the superintendentS of hospitals.
All who wrote Evans approved the
idea.
.Sunnyside Appreciative
DR.. H. v. Scarborough, Superin-
tendent of Sunnyside sanitariun,
said, 1--WE have forty-flve children
of grade school age, and about 200
adults, all of whom need entertain
ment of the right sort, and would
appreciate it greatly
Good cheer and comfort will be
brought to the shut-inS by the pro-
posed broadcasts, in the opinion of
George M. Smith, general secretary
of the Methodist Episcopal hospitals
in Indiana. IT am heartily in ac-
cord with your plans" he said.
DR.. Charles W. Myers, present
superintendent of city hospital, said,
II highly approve of your plans,
And 1 feel confident that the pro-
grams will be worth while"
"Good Medicine For Shut-Ins"
"a suitable radio program is ex-
cellent medicine for shut-ins," is the
opinion of DR.. William A. Doeppers,
former superintendent of city hos
pital. "Such programs should pre-
sent cheerful music from the lighter
operas. Jazz is too nerve-wracking. y
Sister Rose, superintendent of
nurses at st. Vincent's hospital
stated that she will "try to have as
many radios as possible available
for the Shut-ins" at st. Vincent's.
Full cooperation was promised by
Mrs. Ida Mann Irvine of the In
dianapoliS Orphans home.
Plans for the broadcasts have
been progressing all fall. Original
proposal of the programs was made
before the board of school commits
sioners by Superintendent Paul G.
/ Stetson early in the school year.
So far as is known, no other such
broadcastS now are being presented.

GANDHI is VICTOR
IN n YEAR FIGHT

The 300-million people in India
who have been affected by the tur7
MOL of the last year may go peace
fully about their work according to
an agreement reached Wednesday be-
tween Mahatma Gandhi, and Lord
Irwin, viceroy of India. The terms
of the agreement as made public are:
1. Permission for natives to make
and sell salt, thus ending the gov
eminent salt monopoly, in principle.
2. Settlement of the Nationalist
demands that confiscated property
taken from political prisoners be re-
turned.
3. Compromise on Gandhi's demands
for an inquiry into the police methods
of suppressing salt demonstrations
last year.
4. Recognition of the Nationalist
right to conduct peaceful picketing. "
The truce is in reality a termina-
ton of 22-year-old campaign which
Gandhi has waged since 1909 when
as barrister at Natal, South Africa
he laid his views of midas political
aspirations before the British govern
ment
