' National Character Today and Tomorrow '
BACK IN JANUARY the questions were asked : What is the National Character ? Has it changed ? If so, how and why has it changed ? And in the endeavour to supply the answers there have been various broadcasts. English Character, divided into North and South ; Scottish Character, Welsh and Irish Character.
Then, as a race, we were analysed by an American, a German, and a Czech. This led up to the February and March talks from the industrial and social worker's points of view. And now, finally, tonight, this series is to conclude with a discussion. What contemporary tendencies in the English character can be observed ? Ought these tendencies to give us cause for hope or alarm ?
Those listeners who have not already read H. W. Nevinson 's essay on this subject in the Talks Pamphlet, ' Ourselves,' are likely to find it all the more interesting now they have listened to this series of talks.
