IT is difficult to believe that the author of ' Erewhon ' and that masterpiece among novels, ' The Way of All Flesh,' needs more than the slightest introduction to our readers. Mr. MacCarthy deals with his work and literary influence in the penultimate talk of his series on modern literary classics. Any listener who is persuaded by him to tackle Samuel Butler for the first time, will owe Mr. MacCarthy a debt difficult adequately to discharge.

That justice should be done impartially throughout the country, and that people should not only bciieve, but know that it is done, through education in the various processes employed, are obvious essentials to a healthy national morale and attitude. Mrs. Rackham, who has been a Poor Law Guardian, a Home Office Factory Inspector and a member of the Standing Joint Committee of Women's Labour Organizations, as well as being a J.P.,. makes a striking contribution this evening towards this frequently neglected aspect of education in citizenship.
MOST listeners probably have a vague idea ' by now that food is part of the regular study of scientists. But they may not know that the very existence of much of the food to be seen daily on our tables is due to science, particularly to that which has given us all branches of artificial refrigeration. Science applied to food produces results more valuable than might be expected from the continual jokes about ' vitarnines ' and ' calories.'
