' Climate and Character'
A Discussion between Mr. ARTHUR BRYANT (Educational Adviser, Bonar Law College, Ash-ridge), and Professor H. J. FLEURE , D.Sc. There can be little doubt that the weather, opening gambit and main staple of national conversation, profoundly influences the character of Englishmen. To what extent, and in what national traits this influence is revealed; and whether local influences of moorland, valley, and sea can be discerned, Mr. Arthur Bryant will attempt to reveal tonight in discussion with Professor Fleure.
Listeners interested in this series will find a full bibliography in Mr. H. W. Nevinsons pamphlet ' Ourselves,' obtainable from the Publications Department, Broadcasting House, W.I, price 6d., 7d. post free.
