THE TOWER LIGHT Night Goblins 'T as ' 'i MAY Love -e How long I lay awake I do not know for the hours that pass in the night are unaccountable. vMy room was dark but for a faint glimmer from a distant street light. I was keenly aware of every sound. Never had my senses been so alert. . The low moan of a distant fog horn: a dog barking--crisp, sharp barks that seemed to bite a piece from the night, someone coughing in a room down the hall-a rasping cough, irritating and unpleasantg then quiet again. The stillness was pounding on my ear drums. Was the whole world asleep? My head seemed seven times its size. Why couldn't I sleep? What was keeping me awake? No,-might as well quiet down- never get to sleep this way. Funny-sometimes sleep just isn't possible- can't get to sleep at all-nothing special to keep me awake-just me I guessi-funny, too, how sleep comeslso quiet-soothing -i-restful---funny---guess it's E just me this night -is--no-different--from any other night. CQSDCZQ? Educational Radio Script Exchange Aids Many Schools and Colleges If your school wanted to put on an educational broadcast, would you know where to get scripts and information about the technicalities of broadcasting? The Educational Script Exchange was created as a department of the Federal Radio Education Committee. The committee is composed of prominent educational and broadcasting leaders under the direction of the Commissioner of Education, John W. Studebaker. Its purpose is to supply educational groups with radio scripts on many educational subjects as well as radio manuals, glossaries of radio terms, and arrangements of music. Among the other types of scripts available are historical sketches, dramatizations of discoveries which have revolutionized science and in- dustry, natural science sub-jects, safety education, vocational guidance, and musical programs of symphony concerts or classical music. Besides being used for broadcasts over nation-wide hook-ups, these scripts have been used for assemblies, mock broadcastsv over amplifiers, in speech classes, and in adult classes studying education by radio. They furnish abundant worthwhile material to be used for various practice exercises. Remember! This material is available not only to schools and colleges, but to various civic organizations, parent-teacher associations, theater guild groups, and C.C.C. classes. 21

THE TOWER LIGHT july and August were gone, September was here. Thoughts of school had never left me and I was waiting impatiently to see the old places and the familiar faces. CQ? Autumn on the Farm One of the finest manifestations of that old principle, We learn to do by doing , was exhibited last year by the children of the Brooklyn Ethical Culture School of New York. In conjunction with their study of farm life the class spent five crisp October days on the Hudson Guild Farms. They observed and participated in nearly every side of farm life including milking the cows, picking apples, watching the fish in the hatcheries, and making note of the mineral deposits, wild life, and the season's natural beauty surrounding them. Upon their return a great number of the children recorded their favorite experiences showing the various phases of life on the farm. This material was combined to form an attractive booklet entitled Autumn on the Farmu. Aside from its containing so many well-written articles, bits of poetry and realistic draw- ings, one cannot help seeing in every page of this perfect example of a project the great range of learning that takes place in such an activity in contrast to the meager possibilities of an abstract lesson. Never could seventh grade children have written such accurate, informing articles with such animated freedom had they not actually experienced that about which they wrote. This booklet only serves to prove the inestimable value of project work. CEC? Fog ALICE WARNER lt comes sliding over the land Like a fluffy blanket of gray, Enfolding the world in its down- Then as silently rolls away. 20
