 What blind little idiot she had been all these months! Why, all those high-handed things she had said to Miss Miller - if Bob were right, she ought to have been saying them to herself. Well it's a wise woman who knows enough to take her own good advice, she thought.

How We'll Wos George Washington Educoted?

EXTENSIVE estates and a large A income provided handsomely for the youth George Washington, except in the field of education. So meager were the facilities of the Colonies during these early ZOOS that even children of the richest were forced to depend on the poor common schools, which offered only the rudimentary branches.
 So it was that such education as Washington had was completed before he was 16. As a growing lad, he was not remarkable as scholar: was reserved, sedate. At the age of B he wrote out for his own use no maxims of civility and good behavior.
 His chief inclination seemed toward mathematics. Hence his last two years of formal study were devoted to engineering, geometry, trigonometry and sur- veying. It was probably because surveying promised advantages, in view of the wild state of the coun- try and the increasing demand for accurate surveys, that Washing ton entered it professionally. It was to lead him. indirectly, to- ward the Presidency, for his suc- cess early established solid repu- tation for him among the leading men of Virginia.

Fast Development.

Neville Miller, president Of the Ma
tional Association OF Broadcasters, told
members of the Advertising Club yes
terday that the problems of radio were
''only the natural results of fast devel-
opment," in expressing the hope that
joint problems of advertising and radio
could be ironed out
Marking the indispensable part
played by radio in the Ohio River VAL
ley flood in 1887, during which the
establishment OF contact by radio re-
leved tension always heretofore felt
by hood-isolated groups, he pointed
out that much of the success Of relief
organizations came from radio appeals
for assistance.
He declared that radio has tre-
mendous influence on the business
and political future of the country, and
urged radio be kept free, and as pub
lie service to the country.
