' Introduction to the Morning Talks '
A NEW term of Morning Talks begins this
A month, and in this introduction Mrs. Philip Snowden will give a general account of the series. The principle of the Morning Talks has always been to cater for a special audience ; they take place at a time when housewives and mothers at home, with children and husbands out of the way, can spare a few moments to listen to talks on subjects of special interest and vame to themselves. Some of the talks on domestic topics are designed to be of first-hand practical use to these listeners ; others to take their minds off the humdrum routine of the day. In the latter class are the two series on matters of national importance; the usual Wednesday series on ' The Week in Westminster' during the Parliamentary session, and a new Saturday series on the week's news. The series la&t spring and summer on ' The Day's Work in other Lands ' and on ' 'The
Romance of Everyday Things ' evoked many enthusiastic letters, indicating a widespread interest in far-off places; to satisfy this taste, a series describing ' Great Events in Other Lands ' will begin next Monday. Three series on strictly domestic subjects begin this week. Tomorrow Miss F. White will give recipes for Brawn, the first of her ' Old English Dishes,' followed on Friday by Miss Elise Sprott 's first talk on ' Cookery for Beginners.' On Thursday commences the longest and most important series of these Talks, when Mrs. H. A. L. Fisher gives the first and introductory lecture of ' The Child's World." This series is unusually long (it goes on for fifteen weeks); its aim is to give complete advice to mothers on the upbringing of children and the care of their health. Roughly speaking, the first seven weeks deal with the education and control of small children, the next seven with their health and diet; there is a final summing up by Mrs. Fisher. The speakers are sensible and practical, and there should be a general atmosphere of sanity about the advice given. This is an experiment in a more ambitious series than has yet been given in the Morning Talks.
