NOT WITHOUT ITS FAULTS
Sir,-I have been a regular reader and admirer of your paper since its first number, and I often say that The Listener is the best threepennyworth printed in New Zealand, One feature in particular delights me. That is the "Letters from Listeners." I like the way they wield their pens. The controversy over the article "Don’t Learn the Piano Till You're 21" was a good example. None of the writers make any bones about their ideas. I believe that is a healthy sign. Another thing I enjoy is the variety of topics. One finds something in each issue that appeals, something novel, arresting, humorous, or even touching, Your commentators are worth reading, but I think one or two of them are dogmatic and just a bit conceited. Your paper is of course not without its faults, but so long as it maintains its present standard and improves with age, I shall gladly pay my little coin each week, ~ %
