little but a hatred of poetry that His high school has earned a mitigated approval because they never made him learn anything there, he was compelled to learn by heart. The university calender awes him; it mentions more books than he has ever heard of and he is expected to read these books.” If the thousands of books in the library do not help the student toward a degree they are not for him Mr. Kyte said. He goes through his four years with changing interests, treating his vacations as holidays and not as time for read-

ing.

“He gets his degree and goes out of the university with a degree and nothing else,” the speaker continued. “He is illiterate, having no acquaintance with letters, but illiterate with a degree. And our university has given him its certificate of education—which certificate we librarians know to be a lie.” “I have in mind fourth year students who cannot write a hundred words of an English essay without atMeast one spelling mistake, who never read a book with mind open, but who will with much study of text-book and a little luck, obtain a bachelor’s degree next year,” Mr. Kyte said. Later in life some of the graduates of better calibre “come to themselves," Mr. Kyte declared, and they return to the library. He suggested that the college librarian might well concentrate on these and not only help them with their own reading but be ready to provide books for their children.

Equipped with a newly developed outside aerial designed to provide maximum reception efficiency, pie improved Ford radio for 1937 is expected to set a record for ntf/ car installations in the comfng year. The percentage u-” Ford cars equipped with radios in 1936 was considerably greater than in 1935, and a continuance of this upward trend in popularity of the Ford car radio is anticipated for 1937. Performance of the new six-tube set is greatly enhanced by the method of installation. Extensive tests showed the importance of having the radio set ‘engineered for the car,—and the car for the set. In the course of the development of the 1937 Ford car, radio engineers worked closely with car engineers. With almost every ini--portant change in body design, a compensating change was effected in the radio. This results in good radio performance with a minimum of car interference. It provides long-dis-tance reception and strength of signals without requiring top much power from the car battery. Noises at the lower frequency end of the broadcast band have been diminished, and ignition noises have been greatly reduced without the use of suppressors. The set has a new shielded lead-in which serves to reduce inherent set noise. Most prominent of the changes in the new Ford radio is the adjustable position outside aerial. With the use of a one-piece steep top in the car, antennae were removed from the roof. Tests showed that an outside aerial - attaching above the windshield was most practical. In the downward position the aerial is in line with the center strip of the newV-type windshield, and in this position it is used for local reception. The position of the aerial is controlled by an inside knob on the header panel above the windshield, to the right of the driver. iBy turning this knob, the driver places the aerial in the upward position —where it automatically Hicks. This position is preferable when reception of distant stations is desired, and it is ordnafily employed

rod for reserve use which may be extended when it is desired to increase the intensity of broadcast signals. The aerial and extension have a total length of 30 inches. The antenna assembly is made of rustless steel and there is no loss in efficiency when it is wet. This style aerial is advantageous also in that it in no way interferes with the driver’s vision. The Ford radio speaker is concealed behind the header panel and is larger this year. It is placed at the “ear line”, where it is most effective accoustically. The set alone has a new three-position switch-type tone control, tones ranging from mellow to brilliant. Installation of the new Ford radio no longer requires removal of the ash try in the center of the instrument panel, provision having been made for the new radio control panel just above the ash tray. The dial has been made more attractive by new indirect lighting which also serves to make the dial symbols easier to read at night. Kylocycle readings appear in a

Progress • Progress welds men in a common cause; A job to each combats the rot of rust. The clamor from the rising dam Drowns out the hollow knock of war.' Here, the spawn of lust can find No breeding place to strike youth into

Work, mightier than the sword, , Yea, mightier than the pen, Can, well-directed, bring Eternal peace to men. Imagination is the ladder, the lift to achievement; without it the individual is mediocre John Doe, a colorless non-entity, nameless and tameless in the promiscuity of numbers. -
