WHAT CHILDREN LIKE
Sir,-I listened in to a Children’s Request Session on a recent Sunday and was very disappointed at the way it had deteriorated from its former high standard. The appreciation of good music and the desire to improve seeth to be gone and in their place we have an oversentimentality and a taste for cowboy songs which have nothing to recommend them beyond amusement. The music is ordinary and the words, especially when of the love song type, are often not suitable. A little of this kind of thing should go a long way, but it seemed rather encouraged than disapproved of. Perhaps youthful lovers of good music have dropped out because of this lowered standard, as many adults have in their Request Session,
