Last week Commander King-Hall talked about agriculture and its conditions at the present day. This morning Mr. K.C. Boswell is to show listeners, by means of a dramatic interlude, something of the agricultural revolution of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, when country people flocked to the towns and the nation could no longer live on the produce of Great Britain..... The scene is set in a tithe barn at Castle Lazing in the year 1780. The squire's bailiff is heart describing to cottagers the scheme for land enclosure. A typical cottager of the time sees nothing in the idea but the stealing from him of the land he has grazed his beasts on, but his protests are overruled.

4—' Autumn Migrants '
C. C. GADDUM
' The cuckoo comes in April, sings its song in May, stays with us till midsummer, and then it flies away.' Where does it fly to ? Where did it fly from ? Throughout early summer nights the cock nightingale sings to his mate as she sits on her tiny eggs. But nightingales, like the swallows with their marvellous flight, disappear before winter.
Today Mr. C. C. Gaddum is to tell listeners some of the early ideas about migration... He will show how by bird-watching and bird-marking and personal observation it has been proved that birds migrate. He will talk of the great gathering that is now going on. How do the young birds hatched this year find their way for the first time through rain and storm across miles of sea to a kinder climate ?
Teachers will find it helpful if they are able to show their class illustrations of the swallow, the cuckoo, and the nightingale before the talk.

Secret Laws of Group Life
By a Medical Psychologist
In savage tribes there are taboos governing family life: similarly, civilisation has its taboos, though of a different kind. Anthropology might well start at home.
In this talk the psychological laws of group life will be discussed, and the dangers that may result when leaders are unaware of them. (
