older boys in Riverdale.
Horace Mann was miserably
moor He had a frail body. But, de-
termined to get an education, ne
borrowed books from the village
library and educated himself.
He decided to go to college. So he
hired a tutor to prepare him. He
went into debt SO heavily to raise
this money that 1t took him nine
wears to pay for his tutor.
Just as he was beginning to get
ahead. he endorsed notes for his
brother. What generally happens
occurred in this case. Horace was
left holding the bag. In paying OIL
his brothers debts, Horace Mann
had, for years to sleep on cot at
his office in order to save money.
But he did get the debts paid OIL
and at last was a free man.
His education finally brought
financial returns. He became sue
cessful lawyer in Boston. But his
handicap years haunted him. There
were other boys who wanted an
education; something must be done
for them, and for the wretched
public schools. A man of action,
he set about it.
Everywhere he met apathy;
schools were good enough, people
said; and he met with the bitterest
opposition from the politicians.
Plenty of money had been apro-
priated, the public claimed (of
course, it never got to the schools).
But he kept on and we may be
thankful he did, for he became the
founder of Americas first normal
schools and practically created the
present public school system of this
country.
Ill health pursued him, but his
flame of determination burned
bright. CHe became in later years
president of Antioch College in
Ohio.) He worked hard all winter
and when spring arrived, was worn
in health. There was to be a COM
mencement speaker, but he sent
word he could not come. So Horace
Mann, against his doctors advice
delivered the commencement ad-
dress himself. And the frail little
man did it with fire in his eyes
Toward the end of his speech, he
uttered these words
"Be ashamed to die until you
have won some victory for human
ity."
He was not so well the next day
and soon took to his bed. In veal
he was dead. He had won his VIC
tory.
What fine motto: "Be ashamed
to die until you have won some
victory for humanity" Do some
kind act for your neighbor, or YOU
church, or your school, or for The
poor boy who lives on the othel
side of the track. Try to make tht
world a little better because yol
have been in it.

Bob Burns

To read some of the speeches
about how big business is being
abused, you'd think that this is the
first time in history when people
have not been sympathetic with
corporations. When 1 was a boy
down home, the only corporation
we knew of was the railroad, and
every time the circuit court con-
vened, there would be at least a
dozen cases where farmers was
sum the railroad company for
runnin' over a town.
1 remember one time when the
railroad lawyer got up to plead
his case, he noticed there were
only eleven men i'm the jury. When
he spoke to the judge about 1t. one
of the jurymen got up and says.
"That's all right, judge. don't wor-
ry about it-Bill Hooks had to go
home and tend to a sick hog, but he
left his verdict with me-"

WASHINGTON.-Walk up to the
north penthouse of the new De-
partment of Interior building and
you'll decide right off that the fed
eral government has gone in for
radio broadcasting in a big way.
There are studios and equipment,
reception, addition and conference
rooms, offices and listening CALLER
les. microphones and gaudy modern
furniture in chromium and red
Ieather-a layout which cost $780,
O00 and outshines all but the bigger
broadcastjng stations.
But the government doesn't
broadcast.
This new project is operated by
the new Radio Section of the In
terror Departments Division of In
formation, and its purpose is to
provide a sort of laboratory for
preparation, rehearsal, and deliV-
cry to commercial networks OF
educational and International pro
grams from PWA, the Office of Ed
cation, National Park Service, Rec
lamation Service, and other of the
departments bureaus.
By courtesy, the penthouse will be
open to other government agencies
when the radio section isn't using
it.
The big broadcasting auditorium
with capacity for a 40 piece or
cheStra, choir or dramatic COM
pany is there because educational
international programs require
dramatization and entertainment
quality if they are to be accept
able to broadcasting networks and
large radio audiences.
The radio section will develop
programs, then offer them to broad
casting companies, competing in the
market. There's no intention of US
ing the studio as point of origin for
speeches by government officials,
for whom a trip to a broadcasting
station will be at least equally con-
venient.
First program out of the studio
probably will be one Of a series on
conservation of natural resources.
DR.. John w. Studebaker, COM
missioner of education, started all
this, although he probably doesn't
relish removal of the studio from
his jurisdiction to the information
division.

(Christian Science MonitOr)
We read that one Maine potato field
is so extensive, the owner uses a tele-
phone for directing the workers. Per-
haps this need will be the future meas
ure of the importance of these Aroostook
farms. If one is really big it is tele-
phone size. This shows progress. A CEN
tury ago farmers used other measures.
One had a field with burrows so long
that it took two men and a boy to see
from end to end neighbors said. Such
matters were managed simply then. No
bother about wires.
In still earlier days, when land was
cheap and steel tapes were scarce, GER
tain man bargained for as much land
as he could measure by driving an OK
mile or two square, for the common OK.
But the buyer had trotting OK that he
rode, and which covered sixteen miles
of bounds in the time set.
Human rather than bovine. and still
in effect, are measures by hand, span,
and fathom, respectively four inches,
nine inches, and six feet. These are bas-
ed on the flat hand, the outstretched
fingers, and the reach of both arms.
He who grows potatoes by telephone
may progress further yet if the airplane
and radio have not been applied to his
methods. But what kind of farms could
they measue?
