"WILD LIFE"
Sir-I should like to suggest. that the feature "Wild Life" at’ present given over the ZB stations at 9.15 p.m. should be placed at a more suitable time for the children, Here is a series of talks in humorous and_ arresting style, presenting natural science as a fascinating and approachable subject for old and young alike. Who, having listened to the talk on life-in a rock pool as watched through a glass-bottom box (which any boy could make for himself) did not long for the next seaside holiday when enchanted hours could be spent observing the habits of underwater life. But all good children are in bed by 9.15. Could not this series be incorporated in the "Children’s Hour"? Our children are not taught to understand and love Nature, and are appallingly ignorant of its lore. Here is one way of increasing their general knowledge, and of suggesting a satisfying
and enlarging hobby.-
