RUGBY IN TOM BROWN'S DAY
Sir,-Recently when I switched on my radio to listen to the Broadcast to Schools session (a programme I listen to regularly) I was amazed to hear what seemed to be commentary on a football match by "Scotty" McCarthy. A quick glance at my copy of The Listener’ reassured me-it was the Broadcast » to Schools, the particular item being a commentary in the present day idiom of the famous Rugby match from Tom Brown’s Schooldays. My first thought when it had finished was that all School Libraries’ would have to supplement their stocks of this lovely book, as I’m sure every schoolboy who was fortunate enough to hear this episode will wish to read the book immediately. . May I congratulate the Education Department and the NZBS for the fine way in which the programme was presented, and also include the daily School Broadcasts. They are a definite "must" on my programme each day, not only because of their interest, but because they are instructive. I hadn’t realised what a lot I’d forgotten since leaving school.
