For very young children
ANN DRIVER
The children will be encouraged to move round the room in walking, running, skipping, and galloping step. Then some every-day movement will be suggested to them, such as the bouncing and catching of a ball, or the flight and landing of an aeroplane. They will carry these out with some slight suggestions from the broadcaster. After any strenuous exercise a period of complete relaxation is allowed, when music is played to the children. The lesson usually ends with dancing.

A Recital by ARTHUR CATTERALL (violin)

Faure had a great power of lyrical expression. His music abounds with beautiful and finely drawn melodies. A consummate craftsman and a harmonist of considerable range and subtlety, everything he wrote is highly polished and designed with an unerring sense of balance and clarity of style. Indeed, Debussy once said that the graceful fleeting lines of Faure's music ' may be compared to the gesture of a beautiful woman without either suffering by the comparison'.
The Piano Quartet is an early work- it was written in 1879. Its four movements, including a delicious scherzo of gossamer-like texture, show the composer's mastery of classical construction and his sensitiveness for colour. The music is full of lovely tunes and supple and striking rhythms, and the development of the themes is carried out with ingenuity and a keen ear for sonorous effect.

Instruments of Sea Power
The Disposition of Merchant Vessels at Sea, Distribution of the Fleet, Naval
Bases, and Mercantile Harbours
Admiral Sir RICHARD WEBB , K.C.M.G,
Tonight Admiral Sir Richard Webb , who was President of the Royal Naval College at Greenwich, and Admiral Commanding the Royal' Naval War College, from 1926 to 1929—the year he retired from the Navy-is to give the second talk in the last series of ' Down to the Sea in Ships \
He is to discuss the instruments of sea power, namely, those weapon-carriers suitable for the purpose : the heavy ships, the lesser ships or cruisers, and the flotillas of smaller craft-flotillas including three types : the surface vessel (destroyers and sloops) ; the underwater type (submarines); and aircraft. He will discuss the functions of the several types, which arc governed by the duties they have to perform in maintaining sea power and in kepping open the trade routes, along which the foodstuffs and raw materials essential to our life as a nation pass.
Then he will deal witjj the vital question of bases, which are essential for a fleet to enable it to refit, take in stores, and afford rest for crews of smaller ships ; and he will say something about the purposes of bases—not least among their functions being that of fuelling a fleet.
Finally, he will review the introduction of oil, which means profound change, both statistically and technically, and a further profound change caused by the advent of aircraft.
