A programme for children at home.
In the story chair, Charles Leno

Anyone can make a contraption. All it needs is odds-and-ends like those in the Useful Box. Today Barry Wilsher is going to make a duck-feeder, and he hopes you will invent your own kind of contraption later.
There are Scottish clothes hanging on the pegs on Tuesday; and the story is about Robert the Bruce, King of Scotland. Thursday's picturebook is The Baby Beebee Bird by Diane Redfield Massie; and Charles Leno's three stories are 'The Sun and the North Wind', 'Peter and the Whistle', and 'Two of Everything'.
