Mrs. Letice Ramsey: "Children and Grown-ups"
Everybody knows how children and grown-ups sometimes 'get on each others nerves.' This can be avoided, and in this talk Mrs. Ramsey will suggest how to do so. Children have to learn how to adjust themselves to society; they will do this quite easily if they are made to see that it is necessary. Few mothers can spare the time to attend to their children all day; but if the children have plenty to do, and are not interfered with more than is absolutely essential, they will accept this state of affairs, and will not worry their mothers when they are busy. If there is friction, parents are as often responsible for it as children.

SPANISH PIANOFORTE MUSIC
Played by NIEDZIELSKI
Among Spanish composers of our time de Falla has had the best chance of staking out a claim for himself in the affections of British listeners; parts of his opera La Vida breve (Life is short), the ballets, El Amor Brnjo (Love the Magician) and The Three-cornered Hat, can now safely call themselves popular hero. Many of his pianoforte pieces, too, are happily known to us, and such sensitive orchestral music as Nights in the Garden of Spain. But success did not come to him soon nor easily, and it was not until 1905, his thirtieth year, that his own country recognized his gifts in any tangible way. They awarded him a prize for La Vida breve, though even after that, it had to wait ten years more for its first Spanish performance. Now, of course, lie is looked up to at home, as abroad, as one of the most illustrious musicians Spain has given to the world.

'Ought Everyone to be treated as equal?'
Last week Mr. Leonard Woolf recalled how the first democrats insisted that everyone ought to be treated as equal, politically and socially. Tonight he will weigh the pros and cons of this theory in the modern State. The tendency is for the Government to treat everybody as equal in voting power; but, on the other hand, wealth is not equally distributed, and hence Socialism has come into being; new privileged classes are arising. Further, there is a danger that if we were all equal, the standardization which is already, in the complication of modern Society, going on, might increase until people cease to be individuals.
Next week Mr. Woolf will attack the closely-related problem of individual liberty.
