HOW WIRELESS HELPS

THE BACKBLOCKS THACHER. Wireless in these days is doing a wonderful work for the children. Not only does it afford them delightful entertainment ‘"‘over the air,’? but it comes to their aid in other ways, many aud various. For instance, this little letter received by Mr. Stanley Warwick, a popular performer at 2Y¥A:-"On Tuesday evening I hear you recite through the ‘wireless’ a piece of poetry etititled ‘The Sad Story of a Motor-car.’ I am teaching in a Native school, and intend having . a concert shortly in aid of funds to start a library for the children, FI would esteem it a great favour if you would be kind enough ‘to let me have a copy of the recitation, as, being so isolated here, I have very little opportunity of getting suitable recitations. The little Maori children are very fond of reading, and at present we have no. library."’ This comes from the Ko. kako Native school, ‘Tirai, Hawke’s Bay. }
