Tracing History Backwards
Government, Now and Then-2
'The Shire - Then'
K.C. BOSWELL
This series, primarily intended as a revision course for pupils between the ages of fourteen and sixteen, is designed by Commander Stephen King-Hall and Mr. K.C. Boswell, Lecturer in Modern History at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, who speak in alternate weeks. Last term was devoted to Central Government (that is to say, the Government of the country making laws in the House of Commons); this term is devoted to Local Government (that is to say, the various Councils making local laws).
Last week Commander King-Hall spoke about the County Councils of today. This afternoon Mr. Boswell is to go back into the past and point out how England and Wales came to be divided into shires and counties. He will speak of the part they played in helping along the work of government in the past. The shire court and its importance; the office of sheriff and its decline; the shire and Parliament; Justices of the Peace and Quarter
Sessions; these and other things will be topics in Mr. Boswell's talk.

How Life is Lived-2
'How Animals Feed'
DORIS L. MACKINNON (Professor of Zoology, King's College, University of London)
This afternoon Professor Doris Mackinnon is to tell you about the feeding habits of earthworms, snails, and various insects. You will learn something of the incredible wonders of Nature, and begin to see how the humblest insect fits into the scheme of things. The earthworm, like everything else, serves a purpose. It is so easy to regard it as an amusing lunch in a robin's mouth, or as something to put on a hook when you go fishing. But Professor Mackinnon will tell you why this eyeless, sensitive creature finds it good to swallow enormous quantities of earth, and how, dragging the pine-needle down into its hole, it has the instinct to take it by the base simply because it would not go the other way though it takes the leaf in the opposite manner by the tip.

Relayed from Coventry Cathedral
St. Michael's, Coventry, cannot claim great age as a cathedral, though as a period church it reaches nearly as far back into England's past as some of our most famous cathedrals-to the fifteenth century, if not earlier. Coventry possesses three magnificent fifteenth-century churches-Holy Trinity, St. John the Baptist's, and St. Michael's, and the last named was chosen as the cathedral when the new see was created.
Its large number of chapels for the use of trade guilds and religious societies is a vivid reminder of Coventry's wealth and importance even in the Middle Ages. The tower is surmounted by a graceful spire rising to 300 feet, a height exceeded by the spires of only two cathedrals in England -Salisbury and Norwich.

A Discussion between GEORGE GLASGOW, D. J. HALL , A. L. LYALL , V. D. BARKER , DAVID Loch and CLIVE HOLLAND
A fortnight ago Professor Arnold Toynbee opened this series with a sketch of the Historical Setting, covering South-Eastern Europe up to the outbreak of war. Last week Professor R. W. Seton-Watson carried on the story with his talk on the post-War Danubian Map. This evening various travellers are to give short descriptions of the Danubian countries, and Mr. George Glasgow will sum up the situation that these countries had to face in 1920. There are to be seven more talks in this series, which should be of particular value to listening groups interested in peace and international affairs.

Egon Petri was as a child Busoni's protégé and a little later his pupil. Indeed, he was the great pianist's favourite pupil. Born in 1881 at Hanover, of Dutch parentage-his father was a distinguished violinist, at one time leader of the Gewandhaus and Dresden Opera Orchestras, and leader of his own Quartet-Petri began his musical tuition at the age of five. His studies included violin, piano, composition, and even the horn, but it was not till he was twenty that he took up serious study of the pianoforte, which he was encouraged to do by Paderewski and Busoni. Petri soon began a career of piano virtuoso and tbured Europe and later America. From 1905 to 191 1 he held the post of Professor at the Royal Manchester College of Music. and he has since held similar posts at various continental Conservatoires.
One of the finest of living pianist1. Petri combines an exceptionally brilliant execution with immense technical resource. But above all he is a very sensitive musician, whose playing shows deep feeling and penetrating intellectual qualities. In the big later works of Beethoven and in the more poetical and serious music of Liszt, Petri is unsurpassed in his interpretations.

Scene 1: A Wild Spot at the foot of a rocky mountain
Scene 2 : Brunnhilde's Rock
Cast in order of appearance
Conductor, Sir Thomas Beecham, Bt.
Producer, Dr. Otto Erhardt
Relayed from The Royal Opera House, Covent Garden

A whole generation of the world of men has passed since the close of The Valkyrie. The young Siegfried has grown to vigorous manhood as 'the hero who knows no fear ', and at the beginning of the third act Wotan explains to Erda, Goddess of the Earth that he and the old gods will abdicate and leave the world to the rule o! Siegfried and Brunnhilde. The storm which accompanied Wotan's entry passes over, and Siegfried confronts the Wanderer, as Wotan is calling himself. With a blow of the sword he had forged himself from the splinters of his father's weapon, he cuts in two the old god's spear of world dominion, and plunges into the flames that surround the crag.

The scene changes to the summit, where Brunnhilde lies asleep. Siegfried wakes her and she sings a joyous greeting to the light. Then, recognising the hero who had come to win her as his bride, she bids him welcome, and the opera closes with an exultant love duet.
