Love That Fur
STUDENTS of educational theory may find it interesting to debate whether Miss Barbara Basham’s competence as a tadio speaker owes most to heredity or to environment. I am content to welcome her into the select company of 2YA morning talkers. Last time I heard her she was deputising for Aunt Daisy. In this short series, "The Story of Fur," Miss Basham was in more academic vein, and two excellent talks resulted. The speaker was concerned not only with telling us what happened to the fur after it left the animal until it became a coat, but also, with real sympathy and insight, telling us how the animal felt. Now, nice as it was, I do not know whether this was exactly a wise approach in a talk addressed primarily to wearers of furs not their own. In fact, so moved was I by the True Life Story of the busy "little beaver that I would have regarded: my coat with a jaundiced eye had I not known from the beginning that it was merely Beaver Lapin.
