SCHOOL RADIO IN USE

Good Results at Waipukurau
(From
WAIPUKURAU, Last Night. The newly-installed radio system at the Waipukurau School, which was officially opened yester^gy, was brought into use to-day, when it was used on several occasions to enable the headmaster, Mr V. Parsons, to address the pupils in their own elass-rooms. Its use was clearly -demonstrated, since it was a wet day and outside assemblies for addresses would have been impossible. The installation, • which cost about £70, consists of a seven-valve amplifier, which is fitted to the radio receiving set installed in the school some years ago. The amplifier is so designed. that, in addition to radio reeeption, speeches and gramophone recordings ean be broadcast from the headmaster's . room to the various class-rooms, either singly or to all of them at once. There are seven loud-speakers. The number in use has no effeet whatever npon the volume. It is proposed nex't year to add a mir.rophone and a further loudspeaker for nse out of doors.
