Sir,-My Listener came in the mail yesterday without my favourite, column "Recent Music." In its place I found advice on health, What about our spiritual nourishment? I hope we are not to be permanently deprived of "Marsyas." His column gave vitality to your paper, and was the real reason for my taking out a subscription. "Marsyas" gives thought for musical discussion, and the musical world needs revitalising. Your paper is the only literary medium in New Zealand which is helping us to set standards for a national music. "Marsyas" has always played fair. He throws his brickbats in the open, and we can throw them back; but apart from that, he makes the average person who is too busy to refer to text books take an intelligent interest in the programmes. Professor Shelley’s programmes set us a very high standard, and we can appreciate them more fully with the help of your column "Recent Music."
