from the point of view of a Teacher of Dramatic Art
Italia Conti
Since 1911, when Italia Conti was engaged by the late Charles Hawtrey to train children and arrange the fairy scenes and dances in Where the Rainbow Ends at the Savoy Theatre, she has devoted herself to the stage training of children, and among her pupils have been such stars as Noel Coward , Gertrude Law rence, Anton Dolin , and Brian Aherne. Her point of view about children should be one of the most interesting contributions to this series.

Systems of Farming
R Carstaw and W. S. Mansfield
Mr. Mansfield is bringing to the microphone a colleague of his on the staff of the Cambridge University School of Agriculture. Dr. Carslaw is head of the Agricultural Economic Branch, and they will discuss some aspects of farm economics. In particular they will draw a comparison between specialisation and mixeJ farming. This subject is one that occurs to many farmers in conversation, and the views of Mr. Mansfield and Dr. Carslaw will be interesting.
