THE first of this series of talks dealt with Jugo-Slavia, where, both socially and agriculturally, the village is still an important unit. The point about the village life of the United States, from which Miss Nightingale has just returned, is that there is none. The village is practically non-existent; American rural life is organized around the small town on the one hand, and the isolated farm on the other. The' reasons for this lack of an essential and historic feature of old-world society, and its results, are full of interest, especially to anyone who is studying the problems of the countryside.

THE identity of the latest contributor to the series of 'My Programmes' is shrouded in the deepest mystery. His idea of a perfect evening's programme was sent to Savoy Hill in an unsigned letter. So far as the B.B.C. knows, he may be a banker, a burglar or a bandmaster. Listeners will be able to deduce from tonight's programme what are its author's age, tastes and profession.
