CHILDREN’S HOUR,

EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK,

The general manager of the Radio Broadcasting Company, Mr A. R. Harris, announces that in the very near future the company will introduce at all its new stations a complete children’s session of at least one hour a day, instead of the present intermittent service. The sessions, which will be under the control of a principal and a, lady assistant, thoroughly experienced in the entertainment, instruction ami welfare of children generally will commence at six o'clock. The general manager states that it

is not intended that the grown-np.s should entertain for the ■whole of the time, but that the children themselves should do their share, and literally make the session a ‘'children’s hour.” By encouraging the children to help to entertain their fellows, they will gain more benefit than if they were themselves simply entertained, their talent will be developed, their self-re-liance increased and their view of life broadened. Very great indeed is the appeal which radio “uncles” and “aunts” make to the young people (and to many older people too, in more ways than one bo it known), so that the company’s plans in this direction will be one of the most welcomed departures • which the Broadcasting Company has made. SUPERINTENDENT OF PROGRAMMES. The Broadcasting Company is creating a new position—that of Superintendent of Programmes. This improvement to the organisation of the company is an indication of the improved and growing strength of the company of recent months and of its desire to do all possible to provide good programmes. The general manager states that the present policy of each station preparing its own programmes will not be changed, but the new official will review, revise aad coordinate them according to a definite plan.
