* i * RADIO OF THE FUTURE By Rachel Albright The miracle of radio foretells A million miracles, revealing doors Are opening and ancient semaphores Of sound are arrowing to sailors‘ bells That Noah heard; the ultra-sonic wave Maintains its mysteries; sound has no loss, The air protects the murmur from the Crossâ€" Assurance of the thought beyond the grave. Adventure of Tomorrow means long lanes Of light to blazeâ€"trails of a ll ing bird, It means dimensions far beyon the third, And streams of god-like blood in human veins; No man can kill the evidence of this; Love dominates the last analysis. * i" * aged the women to use their originality and imagination, at the same time keeping within the framework of good principles in the use of color, design and adaptation to the family‘s taste and living habits.

Some children have to learn in their own wayâ€"they may even dmp out of school for a while then come back. We must be very flexible in our labelling of students, ready to broaden our conception of what is normal. The “slow learner", with a little tutoring may not have to leave his group. Speaking of the goals of education, Dr. Ger- stein said that along with the commonly recog- 23 nized requirements, “we need human beinua who can love and be leved, who can laugh aii-l appreciate beauty and quietness”.
