LINK IN THE FAMILY CIRCLE As an entertainment and education al device, the radio is far surpassing motion picture theaters, dance halls or any other form of public amuse ment. A new horizon has been opened up by radio to millions of families living in the country, the town or the big city, a new means of culture. The world in its large centers is of fering programs of good entertain ment and instruction to people in their homes both by day and night, the new marvel drawing families together. Young and old, instead of wander ing idly in search of diversion, can hear an orchestra, a band, a pipe or gan, a religious service or a good play, in their own home, be it in a city, on a farm, or miles away in the mountains or desert. There are lectures for the serious minded all the way from literature to electricity and specialists give the lat est ideas in dress, dancing, gardening or the various fields of scientific pro gress. As broadcasting stations are enlarg ed to give better service over wider areas, radio will give still greater ser vice to the nation. * — —— ■■■: ^ MRS. /. W. PIN KERMAN. Miss Sarah J.
