•*3~ effort of listening. My suggestion in this regard is that stations sponsor economics hours, psychology hours, government hours, and science hours. These hours could con¬ sist of several talks interspersed with music to permit relaxation. A round table method, dialogue, or dramatization might be used for the sake of variety. B ut it is essential 'that these talks or round tables appeal to the same type of listener. One talk should not be on business research, another on sanitation, and a third on music appreciation. It is quite likely that the listener who wants to hear one will i0 t want to hear the other two. The talks should treat similar topics or take up different phases of the same topic. For example, three talks might be devoted to the nroblem of illumination.

A third talk might take up the effect on health of good and poor lighting-. It is clear that in a specialized society, such as the one in which we exist, there is no longer need for each station to preserve its local identity by giving exclusively local programs. Programs will be improved when some means of making more extensive use of single programs is developed. At present this can be done in two ways, either by transmitting such programs by means of wire from one station to another, or by recording them and distributing the records. As an advance in educa¬ tional broadcasting, I foresee the careful preparation of talks or programs under unhurried conditions, the testing of these programs locally, and finally the record¬ ing of these programs for use by a large number of stations# There is no more reason why a speaker with sufficient ability to entertain and interest his audience should go unpaid, than that he should appear on the platform without remuneration, or write a book without receiving royalties. At present, how¬ ever, educational organizations have very little money to pay speakers. The prepara¬ tion of a suitable talk requires a tremendous amount of work from those unfamiliar wit the composition of material for broadcasting. The program is soon over without any
