Watching him are two young soldiers, who from time to time when the prisoner pause? to rest prod him on again witha spear. The last scene is in the temple where .

Episode II of the Historical Panoramic Serial, "Man Through the Ages," by James J. Donnelly. Two hundred years before Socrates laid the foundations of Huropean philosophy, Confucius, a poor but aristocratiy: thinker in China, established an arademy in the state of Lu for the dis

covery and imparting of wisdom, Lu its original form, Confucianism was little more than a code of personal conduct. "Confucius in both his writ ing and personal churacter, presentea to his age the ideal of a devoted public man. His teachings were deep-rooted in the moral philosophy cultivated. by: former generations,.and the political basis of his teaching found acceptance in that it was the logical application _ of current Chinese moral ideas, 10.30: "On With the Dance." Episode the Sixth, "Polish-the Mazurka." "Dance Little Lady," by Rosslyn Vane and Arthur.Greenaway. So often ren: and torn by mightier powers than he: own, Poland embraces more romance than is realised, till the ardent book lover dips into the history of this luckless land. Prince and" peasant alike daneed "The Mazurka," "The Cracovienne," and the "Polonaise," but the bold and merry mazurka, or mazur, Ss"? full of life and expression best reflects the popular mind. One feels that the spirit of patriotism, smoulders phoenix: like beneath the ashes of historic splendour, and great names that will ever stand forth in the world’s history; in association are Alexander the Great, Napoleon, and Frederick Chopin. Chopin’s Mazurkas keep alive that feeling of keen sympathy with ancient Poland, once so free and joyous. Ehlert says of this music:-‘The deepest heart sorrow draws on little red-laced boots and sighs-O my weary feet, you must trip it in gainty shoes, you who would gladly lie deep in your grave." Every man and woman who holds sacred the tradition of national honour will ever respond to the clarion note of service, and perform unhesitatingly quiet deeds of heroism. "Dance Little Lady" depicts no historie recording of facts, but relates the selfless deeds of ardent youth and fiery zeal which animated the Polish people as we step back a few years. 10.50: "As a Londoner Sees Royalty," | talk by R.
