17—'Pierre in the great retreat'
A serial reading by Eric Gillett
The French troops had arrested Pierre on a charge of incendiarism, and, although he was not shot, he was an important prisoner. When the French abandoned Moscow and began their terrible retreat, Pierre had to march with them. The horrors of the firing squad had almost shaken his sanity, but his simple peasant companions began to restore his faith in life.

* A programme of gramophone records presented by Alec Robertson.
Alec Robertson , who was born at Portsmouth in 1892, received his musical education at the Royal Academy of Music and was elected an Associate in 1927. For many years he travelled all over the country promoting by lectures the educational uses of the gramophone, and in general breaking down musicians' prejudices against it. He is well known as ' A. R.' of The
Gramophone, for which he has written since its first year's publication in 1921. He devotes his time now to writing and reviewing. He is the author of several books and pamphlets, including one on the interpretation of plainsong, regarded as the most important work on its subject in English of recent years.

A round-table discussion between
Margaret Bondfield , Arthur Har vey, Leslie Lancaster , and George Butler
In the Chair, Hugh Chance
This broadcast will have particularly topical value, since the school leaving age provisions of the Education Act (1936) come into force this year, and employer, educationist, and parent find themselves faced with a new position. In the studio this evening there will be employers both for and against the extra school year, as well as educationists and parents who will contribute to a controversy that cannot fail to interest all who have youngsters. Of the five speakers, only Miss Bondfield has taken part in a ' Midland Parliament ' discussion before.
