MARGERY FRY: 'A Chinese Experiment'

on National Programme Daventry

View in Radio Times

Tonight's talk will explain the mass movement for the education of the people that has been launched in China with the approval of Dr. Yen. Miss Margery Fry , who only returned from
China in the spring, will describe some of the obstacles, such as the written language difficulties and the handicap of illiteracy, and how she feels certain that with the resiliency of Chinese character and the national adaptability to absorb foreign influences, the obstacles will be overcome.
Miss Fry, who was for five years
Principal of Somerville College, Oxford, is well known to listeners. She gave five illuminating talks in the summer of last year under the title of ' Pioneers of a Humaner World ', and contributed to the 'In Trouble' series, under the heading ' Women in Prison ', on June 6 this year.
