"THE TEMPEST"
WORKERS' EDUCATIONAL
ASSOCIATION
The literature class of the Workers' Educational Association, which has in its study this year been engaged upon the works of Shakespeare, brought a very successful session to a. close last evening with the reading of "The Tempest." Before proceeding with the reading, Mr. Baird, on behalf of the members, expressed appreciation of the splendid work of the tutor, Miss M. England. Miss England, in replying, thanked the members for the great interest shown by all, and made special reference to the good work and offices of Miss Jourdain, Miss Harding (librarian), and Mrs. Suckling (secretary). The tutor indicated that next year it was hoped to study certain of the plays of Shakespeare, and also to devote some time to the study of the works of Ibsen.
A number of visitors were present, and the 'reading, which was given by twelve members of the class, was listened to with evident appreciation by the audience. This is the first attempt of the kind by the class, and in the circumstances the performance was a most creditable one. The music of the poetry, the wiTd untutored savagery oi the "monster," and the .humorous relief of the drunken sailors were all very well brought out.
