SCHOOLING OVER RADIO SOON Little Red School House Not Immediately Doomed, However Johnny and Mary may be absorbing their readin' ritin', and 'rithmetic over the radio at some not too distant time. Although the little red school house is not doomed to extinction immediately, great progress is being made in radio education. Vierling Kersey, state superintendent of public instruction, said today. A decided advance in the use of radio as a means of supplementing public school instruction has been made during the last year. Kersey said, although most of the programs presented have been designed for adults. Two educational programs are being broadcast each week over station KPO by the Pacific School of the Air, cooperating with the state department of education. The programs feature outstanding leaders in business, industrial and professional life, who describe the work and opportunities of the various careers they follow. "In this way," Kersey said, "the youth of California, from the most remote sections to the large population centers, come in contact with some of the state's most important men. The inspiration, as well as the information, given by these men is of untold value to the boys and girls." While most of the educational programs sponsored in various parts of the country are broadcast under the auspices of private individuals, Kersey forecasts ultimate financing of the work through public support. Many of the states already are manifesting interest in this new educational medium. Ohio last year appropriated $40,000 to be used in conducting schools over the air and the South Dakota state department of education is reorganizing the school curricula in that state to provide time for supplementary radio programs. California's activities in this field will be enlarged this year by the state New Net Champion Betty Nuthall, the 18-year-old English girl, who won the American women's national tennis championship, the first foreigner to win it in 43 years. Subtropical Exhibit Again Featured For the last few years the Agricultural Extension Service has had charge of the subtropical horticulture exhibit at the County Fair. This exhibit has attracted wide attention because of the many rare fruits on display. As in the past, the success of the exhibit will depend upon the interest growers of such fruit will take in bringing it in. As the opening date of the fair is nearing, growers of subtropical fruits are urged to keep the exhibit in mind.

CROP PRODUCTION MAKES VALUE Crop Acreages to be Reported for County Plantings Holding that differences in net income could be better understood in the light of knowledge of competition between areas, the Economics Committee of the California Economics Research Council has asked the crop reports be broken down as to acresage and production by counties. At a meeting of the committee held in San Francisco, E. E. Kaufman, chief of the cooperative crop reporting service in California, agreed to do this for field crops regularly, and through correspondence from his office for nine principal vegetable crops. Figures on production, he said, would be difficult if not impossible to obtain. The California Economics Research Council was organized several years ago to coordinate the work in economics investigations being done by the University of California, the State Department of Agriculture, and other upbill and private organizations. At the meeting of the committee last week the University was represented by Prof. Frank Adams, Prof. H. E. Erdman and E. W. Braun. The Committee also decided to ask the Federal Farm Census Bureau for the township value of farm acreage, farm values, irrigated crops and the value of the crops.

NEXT GOVERNOR'S INSIDE STORY Mayor James Rolph Jr. has had Interesting Career He has a twinkle in his eye and greets you with a handshake you can feel. Whether you be of high or low estate, you receive a broad smile and often a friendly pat on the back—when you meet Mayor James Rolph Jr., California's next governor. When he takes office in Sacramento next January, Rolph will bring to the position one of the most charming personalities to be found in public life anywhere. Immaculately tailored, invariably wearing a buttonhole carnation or gardenia, Mayor Rolph is a striking and distinguished figure. He is 61 years old, of medium stout built, has a ruddy complexion and iron-gray hair. His only affectation—if it may be so termed—is his preference for a pair of high-heeled boots, which he wears underneath his trousers instead of ox-fords, "because they feel more comfortable." Born in that part of San Francisco known as "south of the slot," Rolph got his start in life as a messenger boy for a shipping concern. His education was received at Valencia, Agassiz and Haight public schools, Trinity college and Horace Mann school, from which he was graduated in 1888. It was in the hectic days after the great fire of 1906 that Rolph first attained prominence. He was named to head the Mission district relief association, ministering to the wants of 75,000 victims of the disaster. Rolph first ran for mayor in 1911, opposing Mayor P. H. McCarthy, then president of the Building Trades council. He served four years, being re-elected in 1915, the year of the Panama Pacific International Exposition. In 1918 Rolph ran for governor of California on three tickets—Republican, Democratic and Progressive, winning the nomination of the latter two but not his own party, the Republican. This disqualified him from running at the general election. "Prettiest Show Girls"—15 or 'em!! The "prettiest girl" from each of fifteen Broadway musical comedies, is introduced on the screen in "Animal Crackers." Paramount's second all-talking feature to the riotous Marx Brothers. This button-busting follow-up to "Cocoanuts," opens a premier run at the Fox Theatre Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. That number of girls was required to make up the pulchritudinous background of the production. So the casting director, desiring to out-Ziegfeld Ziegfeld, let it be known at the various New York theatres that the prettiest girl in each chorus could have a part with the Marx Brothers and still continue their stage work. Since working with the Marxes is one of the ambitions entertained by every choreine, many came, but few were chosen at the New York studio. The fifteen selected worked at the studio in the daytime and on Broadway at night, and comprise a motion picture chorus which would make the glorifier of the American girl weep with envy. It is said to be such an eye-dazzling array as to make lady-killing sheels sob from sheer futility, and send strong truck drivers home with remorse in their eyes, and prettily be-ribboned boxes of bon-bons for their wives.

In 1918 Rolph ran for governor of California on three tickets—Republican, Democratic and Progressive, winning the nomination of the latter two but not his own party, the Republican. This disqualified him from running at the general election. Two banks in the Mission district owe their existence to Rolph, who founded them. He also established a shipbuilding company, and has served as director of several institutions. During the world war his personal fortune is said to have shrunk by several millions, part of which he later recovered. He has served as president of the Merchants' exchange, a director of the Shipowners' association, director of the San Francisco chamber of commerce, and almost a perpetual leader of various Mission district associations. Seven medals of honor have been conferred upon him by foreign nations for service during the war and courtesies shown to visiting delegations. In 1900 Rolph married Anne Marshall Reid. They have two daughters and one son, all grown. Rolph belongs to the Episcopal church and is a member of nearly every club in San Francisco, including the Press club. His hobby is his thousand-acre ranch, where he likes to get into old cloths, a slouch hat, and just "potter around." J AND N COPS LEAGUE TITLE Boyle's Bootery Drops Last Two Games by One-Tally Mar-gins to Champions Staging a masterful comeback after dropping the first game by the lopsided score of 12 to 2 and edging out a 4-3 victory in the second tilt, the Championship J. and N. shop nine Tuesday evening clinched the three-game series and the title of the city league by defeating Boyle's Bootery by a 3-2 count.

From then on the champions didn't score, while the Boyle outfit bunched three hits in the third for one tally, and threatened again in the seventh with three more hits and a run. Munoz for the champions and Carl Hanion for the challengers hurled excellent ball. According to reports reaching the state department of education, you may have the chance.
