COLUMBIA TO GIVE PROGRAM FORSCHOOLS Radio Service Will Offer Subjects New to Most i Students. Indianapolis school pupils will have a chance to hear a very complete school program, consisting of subjects not included in most curricula, according to Sam Pickard, vice president of the Columbia broadcasting system. The program will be known as the National Radio Assembly and will be inaugurated early next fall. WFBM will be included in the list of stations carrying the program. The plan will bring to the school house in the rural districts, as well as the educational centers of the metropolis, subjects hitherto untouched by most present educational systems. Three Principles Joy Elmer Morgan, editor of the N. E. A. Journal, who is lending his full co-operation to this new project lays down three fundamental principals which he believes must underlie this service to schools. First: Material offered by radio for schools must be of the highest possible quality and accuracy. The best, he insists, is not gocd enough for the young people. Second: Broadcasters must look upon themselves as servants ready to help education in which every way the school system believes is best, since the regularly constituted educational authorities are responsible for the schools curriculum. Advertising Excluded Third: No element of advertising must be included. The schools serve all the people and can not lend themselves to commercial activity. The method of distribution of the National Radio Assembly will be over the nation-wide network of the Columbia broadcasting system, with transmitting stations in .forty-three cities throughout the United States. The stations carrying this program will be WABC, WCAU, WNAC, WEAN, WFEL, WKBW, WCAO, WJAS, WADC, WKRC, WGHP, WBBM, WOWO, KM OX, KMBC, KOIL, WSPD, WHK, WLBW, WMAL, WCCO, KLZ, KDYL, KMTR, KYA, KEX, KJR, KGA, WDBJ, WTAR, WWNC, WLAO, WDOD, WBRC, WREC, KFJF, KTSA.

Hobby Fair Helps Pupils to Find Their Abilities

Children Gather Exhibits for Annual Event in Bell School. The Hobby Fair of the William Bell School 60 will open Saturday with exhibits by most of the students, according to Mrs. Mary S. Ray, principal. This is the third annual exhibition, and it is expected to surpass all others in size and interest. “The idea of the Hobby Fair originated in the east and was brought to Indianapolis by Mrs. James Randall, a patroness of School 60,” said Mrs. Marguerite B. Ferger, a School 60 teacher who is in charge of the fair publicity. “It was tried by the school and proved worth while and interesting. The fundamental idea is to aid the child in finding something outside his school life which is of wholesome interest. The idea is not mainly to bring something to the school which the child has made, but something which expresses his individuality. “In all probability he will make something with his hands, and if it expresses his interest it not only will fill his leisure time but it will give him great pleasure and may even lead to a career in later life. “Each child has decided on his entry in the fair Saturday. Those children whose hobbies are collections have assembled their exhibit, classified them and arranged them. Perhaps some child is collecting soap samples; another, dolls from all parts of the world; still another, pictures of movie stars. “Many letters are exchanged with

persons in distant places for some coveted object for a collection. Those children Interested in gardening have watched their plants carefully, coaxing them to bloom in time for the fair. Boys who are fond of mechanics and construction work are building steam engines, airplanes and even making landing fields and airports. “A boy who enjoys sports is making a realistic baseball diamond with the players in position. A little girl whose chief interest outside of school is reading is planning to show in miniture the tournament field of Ashby. She has had to find out the shape of the field, where Prince John sat, where Lady Rowena and her maidens sat, and also the kind of costumes and colors worn by the people of the middle ages. “Some of the girls are fond of helping about the house and will exhibit some food which they have cooked or some garments which they have made. “It never has been considered that the hobbies be limited to some school activity. So long as 1 it really broadens the interest of the student, keeps him busy and expresses his individuality, it has served its purpose,” Mrs. Ferger said.

%£ ■ Watch your tongue! If tongue is coated in the morning and you have a bad taste in your mouth, it usually means your system is filling with poisons from waste matter retained in the body. This state of selfpoisoning, or auto-intoxication, causes chronic constipation, sick headaches, sour stomach, and often high blood pressure and hardening arteries. You need to stimulate your liver so it can remove the poisons from the blood and clean the waste out of the colon. Pure ox gall is the best thing for the purpose. It is a natural liver stimulant, as any doctor will tell you. You get the genuine, pure ox gall in dainty, tasteless form in Dioxol tablets. Each tablet represents ten drops of the precious ox gall and costs less than 2 cents. Try a few for three or four days. The amount of old waste matter expelled from your body will astound you! Note the new feeling of health, strength and energy that is yours. You’ll feel like anew person. All good druggists sell Dioxol tablets.—Advertisement.
