p. 54 · Read in the full issue
Young men who desire to pursue the even tenor of their ways and lead a steady, undisturbed existence should not study for the profession of radio. .
The business of radio operators takes them into far and little-known places. Some have pene trated into the wild inland jungle of New Guinea; others have circled the globe in palatial liners or grimy cargo steamers. The snowy wastes of An tarctica have echoed to the buzzing Morse of intrepid operators with Polar expeditions. In high mountains, on lonely Island outposts, flying in gigantic ’planes across desert, land and sea, are to be found radio-men, maintaining communication with the outside world. Theirs is a life of glamour and adventure.
In 1913, Mr. E. T. Fisk, pioneer of wireless organization in Australia, realised the need tor thoroughly trained wireless operators and mechan ics. To meet the demand for qualified radio technicians, he founded the Marconi School ot Wireless in Sydney, and, since then, over 2,000 students have passed through the school and are scattered all over the world.
Persons interested in any phase of wireless in struction should write to the Marconi School ct Wireless, 97 Clarence Street, Sydney for a tree illustrated brochure entitled “Radio the Industry of the Future.”
