Interests for Children
"HE 4YA Children’s Sessions have suddenly sparkled into life with a variety of new ideas, so that instead of following rather stodgily the same pattern, surprises are constantly sprung
on the listener. The children are now ‘being treated as reasonably intelligent listeners, with some smattering of education. The Dunedin "proms" were marked by a talk on English prom concerts, and the arrival of the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre Company by a trip to the theatre during scene-shift-ing. A ship has been visited, country life has been descfibed by a youthful broadcaster, a Junior Red Cross meeting recorded; there was a reading from Lear (Edward), and a charming talk on the arrival home of a new baby. All these innovations have not been of equal merit, but they show a praiseworthy attempt to give the session a personality of its own. The programmes in their new form are, however, rather difficult for the younger children, and it seems unfortunate that the nursery rhymes which invariably opened the old session
have been dropped.
