    COMMENTS

    As a school teacher facing the reluctance of many modern pupils it is wonderful to hear the enthusiasm in these young people of a bygone day. Unabashed by any thoughts of 'showing off' and the odium that would bring in these modern times these youthful polymaths are a joy to hear. They are also a pleasant source of 'new-to-me' information. Thank you for restoring these shows to circulation.
