RADIO OWNERS AND BUYERS It you are like the most of us, you want the very most you can get for your money, whatever it may be. Cheap merchandise is the remedy sometimes in some things, but you will find it much cheaper in the long run, to buy a good quality Radio. This is not SO strange you consider the facts. A better Radio costs more when purchased, but costs less for all time use, plus better performance, and a better trade in value when it gets older. If the set is a battery set, the battery drain is less in most cases, especially when you get better performance for the same amount of current consumed.
You will also get cheaper performance per hour on heavy duty It is a waste of money to buy, light weight batteries. You will 'respect and enjoy your Radio more if it is not a constant expense. Any good set will repay its cost many times. Everyone should own a Radio. If you ted don't set, we would like have haver business.
If allow you have an old trade-in one, we you a good on a later model, or a new set. We have a complete stock of new and used Radios of all types, and in the future, as in the past, we will continue giving one year service on all new and used Radios sold.

PROBLEMS AND ABUSES (Continued From First Page) room, and an excessively teacher-controlled condition within the classroom. In response to a general need of human nature, he strove for an opportunity to display his ability in accomplishing things which seemed to him worth while, and to do these things on his own initiative, without interference from his elders.
He felt certain needs which were not met by the regular school program, he strove to satisfy these needs; and he wished to do these things spontaneously, to begin when he wished, and to discontinue when the need was satisfied. Naturally it was inevitable that he should find himself in conflict with the established order, that he should be misunderstood, and that his efforts should invite stern repression. But gradually he won the sympathy of teachers, of administrators, and finalin general, of the public at large. Thus recognition was forced of three outcomes of his efforts, and these three outcomes are the three "Cardinal Principles" of the extra-classroom movement today: the Principle of Initiative; the Principle of Spontaneity, and the Principle of Variety. When school authorities came to see that this spontaneous, self-initiated activity carried as by-products self-reliance, self-control, loyalty, self-motivation, pride in successful achievement; and 1 when they recognized that the regular classroom was not nearly so productive in these desirable outcomes, the battle was won.
From that day, the administrator was anxious to promote the movement. Now, in this promotion, a certain danger lies. If the primary values be conserved are those of initiative, spontaneity, and variety, them. the program must be built around Keeping this fact before us will clarimany problems which now cause confusion. To illustrate, a tendency to be arising to consider the peration of the home or adviser room an extra-class activity.
The idea of orienting and guiding the pupils by such a medium is initiated by the administration, participation in it is made a requirement of all pupils and program is developed by the staff the school. fact that pupils allowed some freedom in organization of the room, in planning a part the social program, and in carryout some of the objectives does not make it extra-classroom work, any more than do the same devices when used in socializing the history recitation. True, the activity movement should be recognized in organizing these rooms, and pupil initiative should play a part. But the administration and operation of the plan is essentially in the hands of the faculty, and not of the pupils. The same principle holds for the school assembly, and for the ultimate administration of school government.
other words, pupil participation the assembly and in school government has an important place, but neiis to be considered an extra activity in the real sense. Again, It will be recognized at once, that the super-imposition of a teacher conceived and controlled program of club activity, especially when accompanied by the requirement that pupil shall belong to at least of these organizations, is contrary to the fundamental principles. a plan defeats the principles of initiative and spontaneity. and jeopardizes the permanency of the movement. Clubs and similar organizations should grow out of felt needs of pupils, and not out of teachers' hobor principals' ambitions, Our may well be the atainment of situation in which every pupil will a member of some worthy organization, but such an ideal is not to be attained by compulsion.
A really sinister note continually disturbs harmony of the movein curtain schools, that of commercialism. The administrators wich commercial instincts long since discovered in these activities an easy fund-raising device. J. D. YOUNG Insurance---All Kinds Office Over City Barber Shop SPARTA, TENN.

The only sound principle to follow with regard to finances is that the activity exists primarily for its educational value, and that all else must be subordinated to this. Therefore. all activities must be kept upon the most inexpensive basis possible, with special consideration for the whose parents have extremely limited financial resources. A further principle logical corollary: No activity emerges will be a as promoted for the sole purpose of raising money. The writer realizes that this principle will meet with decided opposition.
The practice is so wide spread and so firmly rooted that other many cannot conceive of any schools procedure. The nice question of faculty and administrative control extra-classroom activities is the last point to be considered in this necessarily brief strated discussion. Experience has demonthat any activity carried in the name of the school must have a measure of control. Here it is necessary only to say that faculty control and interference must be kept at the lowest point consistent with insurance against known abuses. For some time to come, control of finances, athletics, school publications, school and other public offerings of the student body, must ultimately vest in the faculty.
student But student managers, and assistants, can be utilized and through this participation will secure the benefit of the even training though inherent in to such activities, Aside from subject activities faculty of over- the sight. type indicated, the great group of clubs other organizations need only that modicum of faculty oversight which will assure condition most favorable for successful outcomes. Finally, it would that for some years, at least with every encouragement, for the spread of the activity movement within the classroom, the purely extra-classroom them experiences of the pupils will give ice in conceived self-initiated and spontaneously the best opportunity for prac projects.
