BRITISH PUPILS GIVEN COURSES BY BROADCAST Supplement to Classroom Work Found PopularFeature. By United Prtm LONDON, May 15.—Children In almost 3.000 British schools receive daily lessons over the radio through the national system of educational broadcasting which Britain claims can not be touched In any other country. Educators from all part* of Europe come to London to study the British system. Recently numerous Inquiries have been received from broadcasters and educational groups In the United States. The British system of instruction by radio will be fully explained to Americans by Sir John Relth, director-general of the British Broadcasting Corporation, when he addresses the first assembly of the National Advisory Council on Radio In Education in New York in May. For seven years, the British Broadcasting Corporation under Reith has been studying the possibilities of education by radio. Two years ago it was joined by the Central Council for School Broadcasting, an organization representing the principal educational interests of the country. Together these two groups have developed an elaborate program of broadcasting for schools. Each school day afternoon between 2.30 fcnd 4:30, programs are broadcast which supplement the regular courses of study. The radio courses are divided into four terms which coincide with the four terms of the school year. Courses include history, English, nature study, biology and hygiene and rural science. French, taught by an experienced French instructor, is one of the most popular courses. On Fridays, dramatic readings, such as Shakespearean plays, with concerts on alternate weeks have proved another popular feature.

THOUSANDS MOURN BELASCO’S DEATH Although He Made Many Stars Famous on Broadway, His Memory Will Be Cherished on the Road. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN THE theatrical world today is mourning the death of a man who made more stars than any other producer. A theater going public Joins the procession of mourning because its friend in dramatic truthfulness has passed on. It seems to me that Belasco has accomplished one thing in his life that Broadway will pass up as unnoticed because Broadway is not interested. I am thinking cf Belasco’s fine integrity and honesty to the Terre HauteS, the Decaturs, the Bloomingtons and other cities miles away from Broadway.

In the twenty-five years that I have been writing about the theater, never have I seen a Belasco show cheapened or a substitute cast put in place of the announced one. On any Main street when Belasoo announced that David Warfield, Lenore Ulrich, Blanche Bates or any of the others were to appear, they appeared and the productions from a scenic standpoint were not changed; In other words, David Belasco did not have one language for Broadway and another for the road. Theater meant the same to him be it New York or Indianapolis. I have seen his shows in New Yo.k and on tour and I never have seen any differer.ee in them. I saw Lenore Ulrich in “Kiki” in New York and I saw her in the same play here. There was no difference. I asked Arthur Casey at English's, who has had many dealings with the Belasco office, to give me his estimate of'Belasco. “Belasco was the most complete example of theatrical producer who made that work a legitimate business," Casey said. “His attention to detail of direction and production was meticulous, and had no parallel in America, and perhaps not in the world. “His kindly, understanding, penetrative manner made him the best developer of feminine stars of this or any other generation of theater goers has known. “He began with Mrs. Leslie Carter and continued with Blanche Bates, Frances Starr, Lenore Ulrich and Helen Gahagan. His death is a

shock to me and to every manager, actor, author and director." a a a Indianapolis theaters today offer: “Seed” at the Indiana, “Reno’' at the Circle, “Dishonored” at the Ohio, “Strange interlude" at English’s, “Young Sinners” at the Apollo, “Shipmates” at the Palace, “Subway Express" at the Lyric, movies at the Colonial, and burlesque at the Mutual. POLITICS BLAMED FOR MANY ‘USELESS FORTS’ Senator David Reed Doubts if Army Will Get Far With Abandonment. Bn Bcrlppe~Hotcard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, May 15.—Until local chambers of commerce cease their clamor and permit senators and congressmen to divorce the question from politics, the war department will not make much headway in abandoning useless army posts, in the opinion of Senator David A. Reed of Pennsylvania, chairman of the senate military affairs committee. “We have tried in the past to abandon several useless posts, and we failed on the floor of the senate,” Reed observed. As the senator in charge of the war department’s annual appropriation bills, it is Reed's opinion that the greatest cut can be made in the cost of maintaining scores of army posts, without military value, which are scattered from coast to coast and from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico—“if local political and civic interests will permit us to do so.”

‘THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES*

U. $. MAY FAVOR REDUCTION OF FOREIGNDESTS High Capital Official Says Geneva Conference Will Decide Issue. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripns-Howard Foreisn Editor WASHINGTON, May 15.—America's attitude on war debts may undergo a radical reorientation following the world arms conference scheduled to begin at Geneva next February. If the conference succeeds and something is really done to limit the war establishments of the principal nations, the United States may look with favor upon a substantial reduction, or even concellation, of war debts. \ If the conference fails, anew arms race will almost inevitably result in Europe, and Washington certainly will stand pat on existing debt agreements. Any reductions, it will be felt, would simply amount to contributing money for anew and more terrible war. Such is the opinion of one of the highest officials in the national capital. His views, however, are significant when considered in the light cf President Hoover’s pronouncement calling for a halt on armaments. Fundamentally, he said, the American public is not inclined to play Shylock, notwithstanding certain beliefs to the contrary. It is notoriously sentimental. If Germany can not pay the allies the $498,000,000 a year called for under the new Young plan of reparations, and if the allies are not in position to pay the United States the $325,000,000 per annum due, on an average, for the next fifty odd years, the American public is always willing to listen to reason. But, it was pointed out, if countries owing the United States on the last war go on spending bigger and bigger sums on preparations for yet another one that same public would hardly be in a mood to consent to talk of reduction or cancellation.
