2YA Committee

HERE are few, if any, happier posts than that of serving children. This

is the glad privilege of the Children’ Session Advisory Committee of 2Y4 The committee consists of represents tives of the Girl Guides’ Association the Boy Scouts’’ Association, th Y.W.C.A., the ¥.M.C.A., the Maris Brothers and convents, the Nation Council of ‘Women, the Sunday Schoc Union, Training College, Headmaster: Association, the "Uncles" and "Aunts, two representatives of the company the general manager. FULLY. representative of those- wh are interested in the child life ¢ the country, this. committee meet monthly to discuss all matters whic affeet the children’s sessions. Man valuable suggestions ‘are brought fo: ward, and a good deal of the growin interest in the Children’s Hour is du to the pooling of wisdon in these meé ings, ‘as well as to the genius of thos who superintend and take part in thes sessions. We have a four-fold obje ti.e before us, viz, entertainmen amusement, instruction, and inspir; tion. The quickening of the child min

to the love of the beautiful, the callix out of talents, and the development ¢ the spirit of service are some of tI influences which have radiated fro: this committee’s efforts, while the ge eration of the feeling of friendshi ow

a — SIP and-concern for one another has led to some ‘very -happy. results, "s Fresh ideas and helpful criticisms are ever welcome, and: happily discussed by: the.committee,.and while a considerable amount has been achieved, we are conscious that we have not "arrived," but are endeavouring to make the. children’s. sessions of still greater. value to the young life of our country." | ; HB extensive correspondence from children, their parents, and friends is eloquent of the fact of the very large place which the children’s sessions have in the life of the Dominion. These ses- ~~

sions bring cheer to the home, brightness tothe hospital ward, ‘encourage: ment to many who live "‘far from the madding" crowd, and. to all we are endeavouring to send’ out the perfume of, kindly friendship. No committee has a more wonderful task, and I- venture to Say none are. more thoughtfully and cheerfully tackling their .job. We are. ‘grateful for the privilege which, through the Radio Broadcasting Company, is extended to us.
