| Summary: | In the letter, Graves extols the values of radio broadcasting (which has "transformed the ether of the heavens into an agency of service to mankind") and suggests that the school board acquire radios for classroom use: "The purchase of a suitable instrument for every accredited school will make possible the enrichment of the life of every individual in the community and at the same time be of great service and practical benefit to every student enrolled in these institutions. Let one of your first and chief objectives this year be to see to it that your community is provided with a radio receiving set which will connect you with our own Alabama station, WAPI, and at the same time put you in touch with the great world of information which can be secured only through radio." |
