TIMES AND H. T. ELECTRIC CO. PUT RADIO IN SCHOOLS

SHQRTRIDGE IS FIRST TO GET COMPLETE SET Atwater Kent Outfit Is Installed; ‘School of Air’ to Be Received. The Indianapolis Times, co-oper-ating with the H. T. Electric Company, is placing radio sets in local high schools for reception of the daily program from station WLW, directed by the education department of Ohio State university. The WLW programs are known as the “School of the JHr,” and are an innovation in educational circles. The Times has been interested in having pupils receive the programs, but found there were few radios in the schools. A Model 46 electro dynamic Atwater Kent set with a Model F2 dynamic speaker was placed in Shortridge high school this week, under direction of George Buck, principal. E. H. Kemper McComb. principal, favors placing of The Times-H. T. Electric Company radio in Manual high school. The project probably will be completed next week, when the Indianapolis Power and Light Company installs an alternating current line to the auditorium, wired now only with direct current. P. T. A. Gives Approval The Washington high school Par-ent-Teacher Association placed its approval on installation of a radio at a meeting Thursday. The Atwater Kent machine will be put in the budding today under direction of Walter Gingery, principal. All sets are being installed by William A. Jacoby, Times radio interference man. Adolf Wagner, president of the H. T. Electric Company, 612 North Capitol avenue, in describing the sets to be used, said: “The new electro dynamic sets are the latest model of the Atwater Kent company. There are seven tubes and a rectifier, which gives a large volume with a fine t6ne. All notes on this set axe clear, the high and low ones being just as distinct as the middle tones.’’ The project of The Times and the H. T. Electric Company in placing the radios in the high schools has the approval of Mrs. Fred R. Bokeloh. 1116 North Hamilton avenue, state chairman of music of the Indiana Parent-Teacher Association. Bulletin Favors Move In a bulletin to P. T. A. groups, she said: "Our largest endeavor this year is to be in the field of radio which offers so much that can not be had in any other way. The R. C. A. has engaged Walter Damrosch to give a series of children's and young people’s concerts at 10 a. m. every Friday over the NBC system. “This is an opportunity for schools with radios, and it is only one of the valuable musical treats as well as educational lectures being broadcast. “Would it not be wonderful to have a radio in every school. Will you not work to have a radio in your school?” Mrs. Bokeloh asked parent-teachers. # The “School of the Air” program next week:

126 Pupils Drop School for Work During Year

Attendance Act Keeps Many From Leaving Their Studies. Only 126 students have applied for working permits this school year, according to William A. Hacker, director of the social service department of the city schools. This is a decrease from more than 1,300 students who applied for working permits in 1920-21, the year the school attendance law went into effect. “The decrease in the number of students dropping out of school to work is caused by the attendance law. appreciation of education by parents and children, and the general publicity and understanding given education value in the last eight years,” said Hacker. That the general level of educational attainment has been improved in eight years is proven by the fact that far more than half of the students dropping out of school in

The first is issued to boys and girls between fourteen and sixteen years of age who wish to work full time; the second is for children of the same ages who wish to work part time; and the third is for those school children-over sixteen. More children are completing their education today than ever before. About twice as many children are graduated from grade schools now as compared to 1920-21.
