SpenceClarke: "Bringing up a Puppy" Judging from the behaviour of many dogs one meets, there is need for a talk on the bringing up of a puppy-just as there is need for talks on the bringing up of children. If you keep a.dog it is just as well to keep a well-trained one, and bad management often means suffering for the dog and for those about it. This talk is one of a new series on dogs by an authority on the breeding and care of them. 8.0 3YA Orchestra, conducted by Will Hutchens (Mus. Bac.) "King Orry " Rhapsody .

The usual crop of infant prodigy stories are told about the child Rimsky-Korsakov. At two he could distinguish tunes, at four he repeated correctly what he had heard his father play, he played what his mother Sang, and- about the same _ period he acquired rhythmical proficiency by accompanying with a drum his father’s piano playing. At six he was discovered to possess absolute. pitch, and began to study the piano seriously with an elderly woman who lived nearby. 8.42 Vera Martin (contralto recital), "Four Hebridean Love Lilts" arr.

Thomas "The average New Zealander’s love for music is intense, and this is shown not only in connection with the wireless, but in every other way,’ writes Doris Vane, soprano. " There is a never-failing welcome for real talent in that country, and as it is comparatively scarce, owing to the small--ness of the population, there are openings for English singers, and especially for "358 teachers of singing."
