The B.B.C.'s Autumn Programme Both in conception and in execution
the B.B.C.'s autumn programme of talks marks a new departure. It is planned on a more generous scale than heretofore, to cover six months, and its authors have sought to impose unity of purpose and continuity of attack, not only on each group of talks dealing with the six main subjects, but on the series as a whole. Its central theme is sufficiently indicated by the title of the series, "This Changing World." The B.B.C. have set about educating their vast, and apparently very teachable, public, with a commendable sense of the realities. The problems which their speakers are to tackle are the major perplexities of ail age of transition. To state them wisely and lucidly is the first step to solving them. The B.B.C. is doing its best to shoulder that responsibility to the community which the popular Press has, to put it mildly, shirked.
