Questionnaire for Listeners

A Big Range of Information asked of All Interested ‘WE set out below the exact terms of the questionnaire which is to be submitted to listeners as they register their receiving sets at all Post Offices, between the interval March 15 and April 30. ‘Fifty thousand copies of this questionnaire have been printed, and as registration is effected, each listener will be handed a copy and asked to fill in the information asked. A great deal of importance is attached to this move by the Board, as the information collated will, when analysed, enable the Board to determine its policy in quite a number of ways. A special request is preferred to all listeners to give the fullest possible degree of co-operation in answering these questions, as only in that way will the Board be-able to formulate a policy which will enable ‘them to correctly interpret the will of the majority of listeners. The analysis of replies will, in itself, be no small task, but it will be done with the aid of the most modern machinery.
