NO branch of the question to which this series of talks is devoted is more important than that with which Professor Mottram will deal this afternoon, for one may care for the growing generation in every other way and yet ruin all one's work by not understanding the elementary principles of diet. Professor Mottram, who will be remembered for his series of talks last winter, on ' Everyday Problems of Food,' is the author of 'Food and the Family,' and one of tho leading authorities on diet and health.
AFTER Byron and Sidney, Mr. Squire comes to a very modern soldier-poet-Rupert Brooke, who died at Scyros during the war. Educated at Rugby, and afterwards at Cam-bridge (where he became a Fellow of King's), he was overtaken by the war when only twenty-seven; ho served with the Royal Naval Division at Antwerp, sailed for Gallipoli in 1915, and died suddenly of blood poisoning at Seyros in April, the same year. Young as he was. he left behind him some of the best known and most frequently-quoted of modern poems. His first volunfe was published in 1911, but it was the posthumous war poems, 1914, and other Poems, that made his reputation with the general public.
