Michael Zacharewitsch , a violin virtuoso well known to British audiences and more recently to listeners, was born at Ostrow in 1878. He studied under Sevcik and Ysaye to such purpose that at the age of twelve he appeared with the orchestra in Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto at Odessa, Tchaikovsky himself conducting. He has since toured Europe with regularity, taking Great Britain, as a rule, in his itinerary.

The London Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Sir Hamilton Harty: Overture, The Bartered Bride (Smetana)

The Berlin State Opera Orchestra, conducted by Dr. Weissmann: Slav Dance, No. 3, Op. 46 (Dvorak)

The Berlin State Opera Orchestra, conducted by Issai Dobrowen: Slav Dances, No. 8, Op. 46, No. 16, Op. 72 Dvorak)

The Berlin State Opera Orchestra, conducted by Dr. Leo Blech: Furiant and Polka (Schwanda the Bagpiper) (Weinberger)

The great masters of the Slavonic, or, rather the Czech, school were Dvorak and Smetana, both represented in this programme. Both composers based many of their works on their native folk song, Smetana in particular. His best known opera, The Bartered Bride, for example, is full of folk melodies.

Weinberger, a young living Czech composer, has in his turn, made use of native tunes in his highly successful Schwanda, the Bagpiper, an opera heard for the first time in London only last year.

' The Field is the World'
Sir EVELYN WRENCH, C.M.G., LL.D.
In the past the work of the mission-field has been broadcast in isolated addresses, whilst this new series starting today is an attempt to survey the whole field, and to give listeners a birds'eye view of the different aspects of the work that is being done amongst all races, in all parts of the world.
Listeners are advised to secure the pamphlet describing the series before the first talk starts. It is called ' The New Christendom ', and is obtainable from the B.B.C. Publications Department, price 4d., 5d. post free. It is a delightful little book in a Iblue cover with copious illustrations, including examples of indigenous Christian art. Among these are two attractive pictures of the parables— ' The Blind leading the Blind ', and ' The Importunate Widow '-as seen through Chinese eyes.
There is good reading, too, in the introductory essay by the Rev. Edward Shillito , the well-known writer, who is Literary Superintendent of the London Missionary Society, from which one might quote : ' The conventional picture of the missionary is ludicrously mistaken. He is represented as preaching under a palm tree ; that he does, but many other things also. He is a builder, architect, farmer, gardener; he is teacher and translator; prophet and healer '.
Father Martindale writes of the works of the Roman Catholic mission, and the Archbishop of Canterbury in an admirable preface writes : ' The proposed talks on " The New Christendom " will present the extension of the Christian message in all its range of aim and method. I think it will surprise many to realise how wide that range is '.
See the article, ' Broadcasting and the World-Wide Christian Revolution,' by Basil Mathews , on page 767.

STRING QUARTET:

Borodin's first quartet bears an inscription to the effect that it was suggested by a theme of Beethoven. This theme, which is made use of in the construction of Borodin's first subject, and again in the Andante, was taken from the Finale of Beethoven's B flat Quartet, Op. 130.
Borodin was a great lover of chamber music, and all his work in this form is constructed in the finest classical tradition. The music is richly instrumented, and glows with a rare beauty and eloquence. It has been described as essentially Russian, but since Borodin himself had as much as anybody to do with determining a ' Russian ' idiom, an apter description would be ' original '. Sir Henry Hadow has said of this Russian master, one of the greatest of his time, ' No musician has ever claimed immortality with so slender an offering-yet if there be, indeed, immortalities in music, his claim is incontestable '.

An Appeal on behalf of THE CHILD EMIGRATION SOCIETY (THE FAIRBRIDGE FARM SCHOOLS), by the Right Honorable L.S. Amery, M.P.
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to [address removed]
On June 12 the Prince of Wales was spokesman, for the Child Emigration Society in its Appeal for £100,000 with which to establish more Farm Schools within the Empire on the model of the original Farm School in Western Australia. Listeners have heard on other occasions of the scheme for Child Emigration which was the inspiration of the young Rhodes Scholar from South Africa, Kingsley Fairbridge. He conceived the idea of rescuing destitute children from dire conditions in this country, and of transferring them to a Farm School in Western Australia. His plan provided these children with conditions of life which would restore to them the lost or never-experienced benefits of home life (the children live at Fairbridge, in beautiful cottages in families of fourteen with the care of a house-mother) and gave them the training from early years for rural life in the spacious lands of Australia where they would be certain of employment.
The Report of the Inter-Parliamentary Committee on Migration gives its opinion that the Farm School system has been the only successful form of emigration in recent years. It is the urgent aim of the Society to establish more Farm Schools in different parts of the Empire and to give thereby life and hope to thousands of children who would otherwise perish or drag out an existence in hopelessness and irremediable poverty.
