' Hunters and Fishers of the Siberian
Forest '
BOSWORTH GOLDMAN
This is the second of Mr. Bosworth Goldman's three talks on Siberia.
Last week you heard about the herds-men of the Siberian Steppes; today you are to hear about the hunters and fishers of the Siberian Forest.
These people are the Southern
Samoyed, and they live in a country ot dense forests and are dependent almost entirely on rivers for getting about. In summer, like squirrels, they must provide the winter's larder, but, instead of storing up nuts, they hunt in the forest and fish the rivers, and so collect the food for the barren, bitter months when everything is frozen.
They live in tents and houseboats and wear leather clothes. A square meal—much bigger than the one you are used to sitting down to-will last them for days. They have weird superstitions. But perhaps they are best known to us for the breed of dog that is their constant companion, for you must often have seen it. A handsome, white dog like a big Pomeranian.
Among the Northern Samoyed—Mr.
Goldman is to talk of them next week— the dog is white as you see it over here, but among the Southern Samoyed the dog that bears their name is brown and tawny, after the manner of so many animals that become white when they live in the snow. Nature's camouflage or protective scheme to make them inconspicuous.

'The Story of the Coltsfoot'
RICHARD MORSE
This afternoon Mr. Richard Morse is to talk to you about the coltsfoot. A good many of our wild flowers are so inconspicuous that country folk have never even found names for them ; but the coltsfoot is not one of those. It has attracted so much attention over so many centuries that its familiar lames among country dwellers number it least forty. '
Many of these old names are full of interest. Thus tinder-leaf, poor-man's tobacco, cough-wort, one-o'clock, dummy-leaves, and son-before-the-father, all throw light upon the strange story of the coltsfoot. But apart altogether from the lore of the past, the coltsfoot is an interesting and successful plant, and Mr. Morse will describe various phases of its life history.

C.R. M. F. CRUTTWELL
This evening Mr. C. R. M. F. Cruttwell has chosen for his subject education. What is the object of education ? Are the same methods likely to produce both a good citizen and a good man ? What should be the share of the State in elementary, secondary, and higher education ? He will discuss the moral claims of a ' liberal ' and a ' specialist' education. Academic freedom, its implications and limits. The relation of the universities to politics.
Arising out of this talk are many questions leaders of Listening Groups can put down for discussion.
