Good Talks
HOUGH the week-end programmes on the whole seem to be planned (mistakenly, I think) on the assumption that our wits are then dormant, there is an oasis at 1ZB at 10.30 each Sunday morning in a session called You'll Enjoy Education. This is arranged by the W.E.A., and for some weeks now I have heard P. Martin-Smith choose each time a topic which is important, complex and interesting. There is no window dressing about these talks: they
demand and merit our undivided attention for 15 minutes. On February 4 the subject was adult education itself, what it is and what it might become. My own feeling about adult education is that it will never grow to the stature we hope for it until it casts aside its hard, formidable name, for although it includes so wide a range of interests that there is something in it for everyone, the name ‘must prejudice those who have not enjoyed their © schooldays; and, what's more, people who are given to painting pictures, or doing metal-work or learning the flute, just for the fun of it, are often most disconcerted to hear their activities described as adult education.
