Professor J. A. SCOTT WATSON (Professor of Rural
Economy in the University of Oxford)
Professor Scott Watson will talk generally this evening of Britain-yesterday, today, and tomorrow, or, as he so graphically describes it, of Cobbett's Country. William Cobbett , it will bo remembered, lived in both the end of the eighteenth century and in the beginning of the nineteenth, so that his times were as critical and stirring as our own. His grandfather a day labourer, his father a small farmer, he himself worked in the fields as a boy ; and, returning to the land after a varied career, he contrasted it with the countryside as he remembered it and as it had become under the stress of war-time prices and oppressions. The helplessness of the people touched his passionate sympathy with the under-dog. His Rural Ride8 showed his impressions of a changing England ; in fact, in this first-hand survey of the land he was doing just over a hundred years ago what Professor Scott Watson is doing today. The broadcast this evening will end with a discussion between a farmer and h;s son.

Sir Julius Benedict , though counted among our English composers, was really a German who made his home with us. He occupied a leading place in the Victorian world of music; for about forty years he was looked up to as one of its leaders. Remembered now almost wholly by his opera, The Lily of Killarney, he won several successes, not only in that direction, but in sacred oratorios and cantatas. He left besides some purely orchestral music which is still occasionally played, this overture among the number.

Albert Roussel, who was born in the North of France in 1869, began his adult life as an officer in the French Navy, serving for five years before resigning his commission to devote himself seriously to the study of music. He first entered the Schola Cantorum, Vincent d'Indy's famous music school. Later, he became a professor at the Schola Cantorum, and gave himself wholly to teaching and composition; teaching, however, seems to have occupied a great deal of his time until recent years, and the list of his compositions is comparatively small. His work, however, is distinguished, decoratively coloured, and most delicately finished. He has written slowly and with great care symphonies, operas, chamber music, and orchestral ballets, which include two frequently heard in England, "The Feast of the Spider", based on Henri Fabre's fascinating life of that insect, and composed before the War, and "For a Spring Festival", composed in 1920. At the beginning of this year, his latest symphony had its first performance in England. Much of his music is tinged with an Eastern idiom, his treatment of which is authoritative and convincing.
