Readings from Shakespeare-1,
'Macbeth'
This term's course in English Literature falls into three sections. An informal series on 'Some
Books I like,' by Howard Mar shall, that includes such joyous reading as ' King Solomon's Mines ' and ' Tom Sawyer ,' takes turns with three talks by the Head Master of Rugby on ' Delight in Poetry,' and with three readings from Shakespeare of which the first is heard today. Thesenew arrangements have been made at the request of a large number of schools. Their aim is to stimulate the interest of children in books, poetry and the drama, with readings by speakers able to communicate their own personal enjoyment of what they read. It is suggested that teachers should ensure that copies of the books, the text of poems, and the story of plays from which extracts are read, should be made available to listening pupils.
