The first talk in a series designed for the industrial worker who has been temporarily displaced, and is finding it difficult to get a job to which he is suited. A number of social experiments carried out with a view to better industrial organization will be described by the people who are running them, covering things of such practical everyday importance as Attempts to Meet Unemployment, Choosing the Right Job, and Means to Security. Captain Geoffrey Crawshay, already well known to listeners as a gardening expert, introduces the series today.

Mr. E.M. Forster
Listeners may confidently expect balanced judgment of current literature from Mr. Forster, who broadcasts for the first time this evening. He has achieved considerable reputation as a novelist and a critic, particularly with his 'Aspects of the Novel,' which was first published in 1927.
The first of a regular series of practical talks by doctors on health. Broadcasting assists the modern tendency in the war on illness and disease by bringing knowledge of health to the healthy man. Sir Thomas Horder introduces the series, and he will be followed for the next eleven weeks by two physicians and a surgeon.
Continuing his assessment of modern Europe's debt to ancient Greece, Professor Cornford passes from politics to literature. The re-discovery of Greek letters in the sixteenth century released an inspirational force that is still active, giving our education its basis : and our poets, historians and dramatists their forms and models.
