A Novel Innovation
-- School Equipment A LOUDSPEAKER in every classroom, bringing to the students important radio programmes from a central radio receiver, or, at other times, messages direct from the principal; a cafeteria equipped with speakers that furnish musie for the pupils at lunch: time; and an auditorium in which the entire school may enjoy such programmes in a body-these are innovations in a.new high school at Great Neck, New York. In the principal’s office is an elaborate switchboard that connects directly with loudspeakers throughout the building. Merely by throwing a switch the principal may tune his students in on whatever programme he thinks would benefit them. In this way the, students can hear important public lectures and symphony concerts. On the principal’s desk is a microphone connected with the switchboard. When he wishes to issue instructions or announcements to classes he may simply throw another switch and speak through the "mike" directly. Radio programmes are supplemented by gramophone music transmitted along the same wires in the school to the huge loudspeakers in the cafeteria. Thus, when a suitable programme may be picked up over the radio, it is used; otherwise the gramophone plays selected music. ,
