Home TeIevision Slowly Spreads

Italian airplanes have been fitted
with sets which will do this work.
A great deal of television broad
casting has been done with the help
OF an instrument called "the ICON
oscope." It has been nicknamed
"the eye Of a television camera"
and the work 1t does may be COM
pared to the work of an eye. Rays
Of light strike the iconoscope and
are changed before going farther
on their way.
The great secret of television is a
change from ordinary light rays to
electric waves. The electric waves
speed through space and can 20
through hills or buildings. At the
other end they are changed back
from electric waves to light rays.
1t all happens in a split second. A
person many miles distant sees q
television speaker and may observe
him while he smiles or laughs.
At the same time the image is
seen the voice can be heard. Sound
waves are turned into electric waves
and in that form they travel as fast
as the waves which carry the pic
ture.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Pictures through the air! They
are among the wonders of the mod
ern world. Think of a picture of a
man in England being sent through
the air, so it can be printed in a
newspaper over here on the same
day!
That has happened many times.
The radio can send a photograph
across the ocean.
In regard to home television,
things are happening more slowly.
We cannot look at our radios and
see scenes of battles abroad.
If the time does come when
people everywhere see the battle
1ields by television it may do a
great deal to bring an end to war;
fare. We see pictures of fighting
after a battle is over, but that is
not the same thing as watching its
horrors while it is going or.
In some places there is home tele-
vision today. Pictures and sounds
are broadcast together.
That means good progress, but
what the people want is to have
television everywhere. The excuse
given for the slow spread of this
kind of broadcasting is its cost.
If inventors and other experts in
the field work hard, there is no doubt
that the cost can be cut down. This
has been true of other great inven-
tions. Take the automobile, for

with which they are faced in the
modern community.

'It has taken educators many years
to find this out" she said after out
lining long list of items from "how
to get a job" to how to become
popular" that the average high school

leading the way in social change, but
I think that it is trying very hard to
keep up with it." she declared as a
preface to her talk
