He recently stated that great people were always simpler in their wants and easier to please than any other. We often confuse truly great people with people who happen temporarily to be notorious. Frequently they are harder to please than a box of Kilkenny cats—because they

are in reality very small potatoes— sometimes rotten ones.

EDUCATION has but one objective—to teach people how to search for truth, how to recognize it when they find it and how to act on it. When schools are denied free access to all sources of human knowledge—both human wisdom and human error—we do not have education, we have domination by a group or class—the one thing that destroys the liberties of men. Of course, teachers should themselves have common horse sense and remember that in this country we are committed to democracy, and that our chief efforts should be directed toward that thought and experience of the world that may im-

Good Radio Music

By JAMES

THRASHER

For the first time in radio history—or the history of anwhing else for many years—we are to hear an ensemble of harpsichords. This novel feature will be presented in a broadcast series which begins at 9:30 o'clock tonight on WENR, Chicago, and other NBC Blue network stations. To complete the oddity, the harpsichord, lovely-toned concert instrument of Mozart's day, will be heard in combination with the electric

organ, than which there's nothing newer in the world of musical instruments. Philip Manuel and Gavin Williamson are the artists responsible for the series. Starting out as a two-piano team, they became inter=ested in the harpsichord during a visit to Paris in 1925 and since then have devoted themselves to research in the field of ancient music and the teaching and playing of their chosen instruments. They are said to own four of the 10 “regal cembalo” type of harpsichord in the United States. These will be heard on the broadcasts, usually accompanied by an ensemble of strings and flute, played by Chicago Symphony Orchestra members, or by the electric organ.

Never say, “How could a sober man act the way he did?” say, “as | he did.”

Gangsters are in many instances but boys whose yearning for adventure in an automobile-machine age leads them astray.—Dr. Homer P. Barnes, Hawaiian educator.

Ross Prescribes For Radio Voices

Lanny Ross, completing his 10th vear of radio work at the top of the ladder as soloist and master of ceremonies for NBC's “Show Boat,” recommends the following “do's” and “don'ts” for aspiring radio vocalists. 1. DO get all the singing experience you can, as early as you can. 2. DO get as much technical training as you can, even if you intend singing only popular tunes. 3. DON'T forget that clear enunciation is as important as fine tone. Nobody cares how good your voice is if he can’t understand you. 4. DO get into the habit of criticizing your own -performance each time you sing, even if it’s only at a friend's home. / 5.-DO offer your services for sustaining programs, as they make excellent show-windows. 6. DON'T fail to get a reliable agent interested in your potentialities. You need a professional horntooter. 7. DO be yourself! Better sing simple, young, ronantic ballads and excel than attempt great arias and | face comparison with the masters. 8. DON'T be highhat! Even sing- | ers of genius have interpreted folk | ballads, and folk music of 1937 is | jazz. 9. DO enlarge your - repertoire! That newest addition may be just | the one that will get your career | under way. | 10. DON'T be afraid to audition. | They're just as eager to find a new outstanding talent as you are to be discovered! . b

[or several months.

The initial program will find Ken ind cast members seeking a fool proof program idea, and each performer doubtless will have several radio innovations to put forth. The Murray assistants will be Shirley Ross, screen and network vocalist, the inevitable “Oswald,” who turns ap at all Murray shows, and Lud Gluskin's orchestra. Murray has a big job ahead, filling the Burns-Allen spot—WFBM

WIRE last night added the Charles Martin show to its regular schedule as part of the change from NBC's Blue to Red network, and tonight the local station will carry the 6:45 Vic and Sade program for the first time. You. can hear Vic and Sade all around the dial now, the cast originating four programs each Wednesday, besides two shows daily Monday through Friday. Other Wednesday broadcasts may be heard over the NBC-Blue chain at 10:30 a. m.; NBC-WLW at 2:30 p. m., and NBC-Blue at 9 p. m. The afternoon broadcast is a re~ peat of the morning show, and the second evening show repeats the earlier evening performance.

CBS-WFBM will stage what may be an interesting “battle of wits” at 1:15 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, Chicago announcers competing with New York announcers. The program has something to do with April Fool Day, I believe, but is to include serious reading of scripts as well as ad libbing contests, an intelligence test and other competitions.

Isham Jones, in a writing mood again, recently turned out four new songs in one week. But when a CBS publicity man called on him to learn the reason for the sudden activity after nearly a year in which he published nothing, the maestro wouldn't talk—except about his turkey ranch. Since this is about songs and not turkeys, we can skip his remarks about his 1000-bird flock and get along with his new contributions to popu'ar music. “Just to Remind Me of You” was introduced on the networks by Guy Lombardo; “Barefoot Boy of Mine,” was written for the Jones’ heir, Davey, aged 3; “Thanks for Everything” was given its title by the director’s soloist, Eddie Stone, antl “Misty Moonlight,” a rhumba, was written because Jones didn’t care for other rhumbas now on the market,

“Cavalcade of America” tonight will have special significance for listeners. whose early education centered around McGuffey Readers. The author's life will be dramatized, the program to be heard, as usual, - over CBS-WFBM at 17 o'clock. The dramatization will tell how young William Holmes McGuffey left his frontier Qhio home to attend Greersburg Academy and Washington University in Pennsylvania, how he was appointed a professor at Miami University, Oxford, O., in 1836, and how he finally helped to form the first important teachers’ association in the United States. It was to supply the needs of this organization that he coms= piled the first of the famous readers. They were introduced in 1836 and 1837, and through the century they remained an important eductional factor. American school children learned from their pages not only their 'ABC’s, but social science, good behavior and their attitude toward life. “Cavalcade of America’s” drama=tization of bits of American history are good entertainment and are | educationally worthwhile. Many | listeners whose acquaintance with { Prof. McGuffey dates from the school room should find tonight's program especially interesting.

| Elisabeth Rethberg, Metropolitan | Opera soprano, will be heard with | “Your Hit Parade” orchestra over | NBC-WIRE from 9 to 9:45 o'clock tonight. Unlike most programs, “Your Hit | Parade” discourages its bands from { playing in their own style, de- | manding a prescribed style be followed. And the show frequently changes directors, the theory being that listeners should be encouraged to listen to a program and not to 'a particular maestro. | Abe Lyman, though, seems to | present the Wednesday night edi- | tion with considerably more gusto [than did his predecessors, and | Mark Warnow, who last week assumed command of the Saturday | CBS-WFBM “Hit Parade” shows, | already is well known for his dis- | tinctive music.
