Abstract
AbstractThe Canadian National Farm Radio Forum was launched in January 1941 as an innovativepartnership among three newly-formed organizations: the Canadian Association for AdultEducation (CAAE), the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), and the CanadianFederation of Agriculture (CFA). During the winter months from 1941 to 1965, the FarmRadio Forum supplemented weekly radio broadcasts for the casual listener with printed educationalmaterials that were mailed in advance to registered rural discussion forums. This articleexplores these broadcasts, and argues that the discussions and the reports send back from thediscussion groups to the central offices of the National Farm Radio Forum provided the core ofa distinctive and immensely popular experiment in adult education and grassroots rural, oftenradical, social activism in mid-twentieth century Canada.RésuméLancée en janvier 1941, la Tribune radiophonique agricole nationale du Canada s’est avéré unpartenariat innovateur de trois organismes fondés depuis peu : l’Association canadienne pourl’éducation des adultes (ACÉA), la Société Radio-Canada (SRC) et la Fédération canadienne del’agriculture (FCA). Pendant les mois d’hiver de 1941 à 1965, la Tribune radiophonique agricoleen complément de ses émissions hebdomadaires fournissait à l’intention de ses auditeursdu matériel pédagogique expédié à l’avance, par la poste, à des forums de discussion agréés.Cet article étudie ces émissions et soutient que les discussions ainsi suscitées et les rapportssubséquents envoyés par les groupes de discussion au siège social de la Tribune radiophoniqueagricole constituaient le coeur d’une expérience particulière très appréciée en éducation desadultes et en activisme populaire — souvent radical — au milieu du vingtième siècle au Canada.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
