@ A Poetry Programme
For the first time this term poetry is to take the place of prose, and teachers especially may like to know the poems that are to be broadcast: ' Love the Baby' by James Elroy Flecker ; ' The Bells of Heaven ' by Ralph Hodgson ; ' Milk for the Cat' (a vivid description of a cat drinking its fill and then going to sleep) by Harold Monro ; ' Jenny Wren ' (pointing out how queer it is that the smallest bird of all has such a large voice) by W. H. Davies ; ' Pibroch of Donuil Dhu ' (ballad of a Scottish chieftain) by Sir Walter Scott ; and Mrs. Kamschatka's ' Washing Day ', a humorous rhymed story, by E. J. Coning. It is of interest that this last is taken from Aunt Judy 's Magazine, one of the earliest of children's magazines.
