PRIINCIIPAIl. S MESSAGE Danger In Radio ERI-IAPS no great revolutionary invention was ever made which has not led to consequences unforeseeable by the inventor. The Wright Brothers never dreamed, I suppose, that their flying machine would develop into the most powerful and fiendish instrument of war that the world has ever known. Yet today war is carried on -'in the air with the most terrible violence and with a destruction of life and property beyond the flights of imagination. If the true story of the aeroplane could have been told fifty years ago, it would have been regarded as a fantastic tale hardly worth a second thought. But the aeroplane has brought with it a War more terrible than the world ever knew. That, however, is not the fault of the aeroplane. It is the fault of the wicked men and wicked nations that use these machines for base purposes. The radio has now become part of our way of life. We could not do without it. It is a great and valuable step in the march of mechanical progress. but its ultimate good depends upon the use to which it is put. lt may bring with it disasters more to be feared than those which came with the aeroplane. The radio, as such, will not sink our ships, demolish and burn cities, or crush and mangle human bodies beyond recognition but it may ruin the human mind. Listening to the radio at any odd time, trusting to luck or accident to find a program that entertains us or instructs us, develops a lazy habit of mind which accepts without even the eilfort of thinking anything that comes along, good or bad and the listener enjoys the radio catch as catch can. The receptive attitude developed by mere listening to the radio weakens the mind. To keep the mind healthy and strong it must act, it must do something of its own accord. There is no excellence without labor says the old proverb, and there is no mind without eiiort. lf our minds become too sluggish- and indifferent to work we simply sit in the grandstand and watch the passing show without the slightest elfort of mind being given to the process. Boys and girls of high school age are particularly prone to allow themselves to fall into this easy-going habit which, in the course of time, may make them perfect morons incapable of any kind of worthwhile self-activity. ln the process the mind just peters out and the radio addict may become as useless and hopeless as the drug fiend. After all, what happens to the mind is the most important thing in the world. If our minds become weak and flabby as a result of radio listening, it would be much better to eliminate the radio entirely. But the radio has come to stay. What then should high school boys and girls do with the radio? First, they must exercise their own will power and make radio their servant, not their master. Second, they must not listen to programs at haphazard, but must have a definite program for their radio time. Third, they should not attempt to listen to the radio when reading or holding a conversation. Fourth, their radio program having been determined, they must have will power enough to carry it out. l 3 Page Eleven
