BROADCASTS TO SCHOOLS
PROGRAMME FOR 1948
• A comprehensive programme of broadcasts to schools has been arranged by the Education Department for 1948. It covers music appreciation, literature, social studies, travel, nature study, and general knowledge. Music for Forms I, 11, and 111 on Mondays and Fridays will cover the development of music from primitive sound-making to the modern orchestra. Other periods will involve recapitulatory listening to develop appreciation. “Tales that are told” on Tuesdays will feature great , stories in English literature from the Anglo-Saxon “Beowulf” to modern authors. Items will be dramatised.
“New Zealand in the Making,” on Tuesdays, will include “secrets of the rocks, animal life before the Maoris came, man comes to New Zealand, and young emigrants.” On Wednesdays there will be stories and rhythm for infants and juniors. A modern travel series, “Journey from England,” will trace the voyage of an English family to New Zealand, describing their ports of call, countries and peoples seen, and notes on occupations and ways of life.
