of talks on "‘Pottery." Many listeners have expressed their appreciation of this lady’s interesting and informative lectures. , The concert programme this evening will be given entirely by the students of the Auckland Teachers’ Training College. It will be the first time that such a concert will have been broadcast, and all listeners will find something of interest and_ enjoyment, for these young teachers have enthusiastically put forth every effort to make this evening a great success, The programme to be given by the students will include both music and drama.. The chief interest on the musical side will be found in the choral work by the College Glee Club, numbering over 80 voices. There will be the usual four-part songs of the traditional choir or Glee Club and here will be found Edward German’s powerful ang vivacious "Rolling Down to Rio" the humorous song "Oh! the Noble Duke of York." Then will follow a group of folk songs from many lands-France, Ger- ' many, the Tyrol, Hungary, British Isles-and there will also be Maori songs. In these days of commercialis‘ed music, full of cheap and worthless sentiment, it is refreshing, at times, to return to the songs of the people. The old songs of the British Isles are full of pure beauty and sincerity of expression. Interspersed in all this choral work will be items by pianists, vocal soloists and a male voice quartet. Another feature of the programme will be a one-act play by Mr. C. H. Box. of Tauranga, a former student of the college. The play is entitled "Walking Off,’ and deals with the struggle which a farmer has in order to make a living off his high-priced and. Mr. Box has written several plays on New Zealand life, including a long chronicle play "Wiremu Tamehana," a powerful interpretation of the King Movement and the Waikato War. He has an intimate knowledge of life in the back-blocks of New Zealand. Ensilage-making ON broadcast from 4YA and 8YA, Farmer Brown and an agricultural instructor will discuss ensilage making. The parties to the dialogue will be Mr. L. W. McCaskill and Mr. R. B. Tennant.

The djplogue will be given under the ausof the 4YA Primary Productions Committee. From Christchurch HE programme will feature "The Arcadians" (by Monckton and Talbot), and the vocalists (the Salon Quartet) will feature all the principal eoncerted and solo numbers of this very popular musical play. Supporting instrumental music will be provided by the Studio Octet under Mr. Harold Beck. 4YA Features R.
