Broadcasting has assumed many roles since its inception, but none has received such whole- hearted and enthusiastic support from the nation's leaders as when it dons the toga of the educa- tor. Sending of operatic arias out on the air has become frequent within the past few months. All the progress thus far made in that field, together with a wealth of new material and ideas, is to be assembled during NATIONAL RADIO WEEK for a grand display. Announcement to this effect has just been made by J. Andrew White, chairman of the Executive Committee of NATIONAL RADIO WEEK. Mr. White and the Committee feel that the broadcasting of the highest type of music not only has recreational value but is inspirational in home circles, as well, and there is tremendous economic benefit to be gained in educating the American people through radio to an appreciation of the higher forms of culture. Radio's use in the church and school are also to be demonstrated in special nation -wide programs from scores of stations. NATIONAL RADIO WEEK is an unselfish, co- operative effort on the part of everyone in radio, from listener to manufacturer, to demonstrate what the new science and industry has accomplished thus far in the brief span of one year of general popularity and to give the listener an insight into the yet unrealized possibilities of the near future. It is an organized effort to add to the ranks of listeners -to double this number in fact. Every listener will endeavor to enlist one other person as a radio fan. This will double the number of broadcast listeners. Programs from every station in the country, specially prepared to fit the holiday season and the spirit of the week, will be sent out on the air. Sporting events, operas, jazz bands, speeches, and other particularly interesting programs will fill the air. Nation- = wide broadcasts of a single event to be heard in every section of the country at once, will be made. mllllllllllíllllll IIIIIIIIIIIIIII illlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll II IIIIIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII II IIIII II II IIFIIIIIIIIIIIII II FhIIIII 11111111111111111111111111111111111 IIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII II IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII 11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111P""' Tfie Maaine OF tfie Hour DE PURLLSHED MONTHLY GARRICK BLDG CHGO.
