This new educational trend has been furthered
by the inventors and manufacturers. They un-
dertook to «liminate some of the many dials,
switches, knobs and plugs on early receiving sets
which mystified the mind and strdined the eye of
one trying to manipulate all of them, and they
succeeded in producing a set which, while still
possessing the power to pull in education and en-
tertainment from anywhere between the Atiantic
and Pacific, can be controlled by one, single dial

needed to operate it, This has become a boon to

i “All well-equipped schools for the blind now

home for the Blind.
| “Blind youngsters have no trouble operating

for them to bring in perfectly a procession of sta.
tions which teach them more rapidly than did the

The high-power broadcast station is

Wwaoers thus rendered is a valuable
contribution towards the permanence
of broadcasting.
It is estimated that a superpower
station, such as that of the Radio Cor.
poration at Bound Brook, N. J, which
was designed for .an output of fifty
kilowatts, has a listening audience of
approximately five million people, and
when programs of outstanding merit
are broadcast tho audience frequently
total fifteen million. Add to this the
service offered do broadcast listeners
through the periodical linking of nu
merous broadcasting stations by wire
or by radio and it is evident that good
service is being rendered to a very
large percentage of the Nation's pop
ulation.
