What radio means to the world particularly to this country with its millions of radio sets, is not appreciated.
Public thanks are due to the Radio Corporation of America that, at great expense, engages an excellent symphony orchestra with Walter Damrosch leading and explaining, to play every Friday morning at eleven o'clock for school children and all others that care to "tune in."
Every public school should have a good radio, and the teacher's duty should be to suspend classes and tune in for broadcasting worth while.
If you have a little money to spare, buy a good radio set for the public school nearest you, especially if it happens to be a country public school.
