VILLINOVA. Pa.—Radio colleges
will be established influence in the
educational life of America within
the next five years, the Rev. Dr.
James H. Griffin, O. S. A., president
of Villanova College,- forecasts. Dr.
Griffin is making a study of the ef
ficacy of educational broadcasts.
Information from Ray Lyman Wil
bur. secretary of the interior, who
also is keenly interested in the feasi
bility of adult education by radio, is
being sought by the" Villanova presi
dent.
“Listeners no longer dial away from
every radio talk,’’ said Dr. Griffin.
’They have learned thqt special
broadcasts, such as the one from the
American Philosophical Society in
which Dr. Elihu Thomson, the fa
mous inventor, and Dr. Harlow Shap-
ley, Harvard astronomer, took part
are entertaining as well as informa
tive.
“Broadcasting is entering a new cy
cle. It. has passed the novelty stage
and it is putting behind it the days
when listeners demand only enter
tainment.’’
The Villanova president regards ed
ucation over the aid not as a com
petitor of the college but as an ad
junct. He believes broadcasts may
help to solve the problem of continu-
In the education of the graduate
after he leaves college.
“The success of educational broad
casting depends upon making the pro
gram interesting to the last minute,
through dramatization,” Dr. Griffin
• asserted. “The person before the mi
crophone must realize he cannot de
pend upon his appearance and ges
tures to hold the attention of the lis
teners.”
Educational broadcasts derive their
strength from the fact that the lis
teners are in a receptive mood, the
Villanova educator believes. Hence,
the lecturer does not have to over
come mental indifference or resistance
in the students.

BOSTON. Jan. 20. — Making a plea
for prayers for the London Naval
Parley, and urging solid support for
President Hoover in the trying days
ahead during the period of the con
ferences, Rev. Jones I. Corrigan, S.
J.. professor of sociology' at Boston
College, told L000 members of the
League of Catholic Women at Em
manuel College, the Fenway, that
“the peace of mankind hangs on the
outcome of the London parleys.”
“It is difficult to exaggerate tne
significance of the conference in
London." Father Corrigan said. “No
meeting of the nations since the
Peace Conference in Paris after the
World War compares with this.
Though the formal deliberations of
the conference itself will be confined
to strictly naval issues, the fact that
it is held at all, the character of -
its personnel, and still more the po
litical discussions between the gov
ernments represented, will make it
by far the most important interna
tional conference in a decade.
“The success isf the conference will
depend much upon the spirit in
which* it is approached. The Peace
Pacts are the only real basis for the
navy cuts sought. Any insistence on
national selfishness, or any effort to
bargain or barter the peace of the
world for national interests should
meet with the universal condemna
tion ot mankind. The progress of
world peace should not be put in
jeopardy by the selfishness of im
perial designs of anv government.
"The success of the London Na
val Parley, with the Kellogg Peace
Pact as its basis, means that the new
moral peace idea will be triumphant
in thes world. With this in mind,
all lovers ox peace will watch with
hopeful hearts the progress of the
parleys in London, and will, in
prayer, uohold the hand- of Presi
dent Hoover in his really noble ef
forts to advance world peace.”

Brother Feltes' project is nearer
realization than either of the others.
He holds what is known as a “limit
ed commercial” license, which privi-
j leges him to fly mail, baggage and
1 passengers not for hire. Too. he is
1 familiar with the flying conditions irf
Alaska, and is preparing to take a
course in wireless telegraphy, so that-
he may keep in touch with the out
side world when he leaves for a
flight over the interior of the North
country.
Brother Feltes plans to obtain his
plane before February 1 and fly back
to the coast hv easy stages, possibly
making the trip with four or five
halts. Once in California, lie will
spend another month on cross-coun
try flights, for practice, after which
he will leave for the North. If con
ditions permit, he said, he will fly
the plane from San Francisco to Seat
tle, stop there, and then resume his
journey by sir, flying to Fairhaaics
If. however, weather conditions pro
hibit, he will have the aircraft ship-
j ped from Seattle by boat. The date
I of his departure for Alaska is tenta
tively set'at March 15.
Tire plane will be equipped with a
wireless receiving and sending set
which is u duplicate of that used by
Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd, who is
I now in the Antarctic. This set,
j Brother Feltes said, has a sending
I range of about 17.000 miles, and will
j enable him to keen i*v constant touch
j with ground stations 'Whenever he is
in the air.
The thought of using an airplane
for Northern missionary weak result
ed from an experience of the Rev.
Philip Delon, S.J., Jesuit Superior in
Alaska. A commercial flyer madr
a forced landing at Holy Cross, where
the Superior makes his headauarters,
and spent some two months there re
pairing his plane. The missionaries
assisted him in every way porsib’e,
and, when he was ready to leave, he
offered to take the Superior on a
flight to mission posts as a means of
repaying him for his hospitality.
Father Delon accomplished in a week
of flying what would have taken
months behind dogs, and immediately
became sold on the idea of using the
air as a transportation medium in hi ;
work. With the plane he will visit
all the missions in three weeks, a t v.k
that formerly took nearly a year.
Funds for the purchase of the plane
and equipment are being raised by the
Marquette Lcdgue for Indian Missions
of New York. The Bureau of Cath
olic Indian Missions here also is as
sisting in working out details on the
project.
Brother Feltes. although he has had
eighty hours of solo flying, never rode
in a plane until last July. His first
flight, however, made him an ardent
devotee of the art, and he began a
course of instruction at the Curtiss
school in Oakland. He qualified and
received first his private license and
then his commercial one; as soon as
he has had 200 hours in the air,’ he
said, he plans to take a test for a
transport license, the highest issued
by the Department of Commerce.
