76 THE L. C. I TA TLER zerland we see that it is the most moun- tainous country i11 Europe. The lofty Alps rise to very great. heights here. and, nestled between them, are small valleys and lakes. Situated on a prom- ontory is the capital, Berne, a pictur- esque city with its buildings, promen- ades and monuments .... That pleasant View of Switzerland will be continued to-morrow at this same hour, until then the geography books are closed. You are tuned in on the Literature Class, Miss Corkery speaking: We come to bury Caesar, not to praise him. All right, class, who is the speaker? The undertakers fSuppressed laughterl. That class must leave us now to go on with its study of Shakespeare, we leave the air at this time to return at one-thirty o'clock, Fast school time. Good morning, you are listening to Station S-C-R about to broadcast a scientific address by Mr. Patterson. The subject of his topic to-day is How to get rid of the Colorado Potato Beetle. Mr. Patterson: The Colorado Potato Beetle, Potato Bore, or potato bug, you don't need to copy this down, emerges from its hiber- nation in the spring and lays messes of orange eggs on the under side of the leaf. The larvae are known as 'slugs' or 'soft-shells' and cause most injury to the vines. Now, since they disease the vines, it is necessary to get some way to prevent the crop from ruin. What would you suggest, Gor- rill? VVhat. you don't know? Any- one should know! Miss Johnston, how do you escape the disease caused by biting insects? The musical note has sounded, the interesting talk is over, but did you hear the answer? Don't bite them. VVe withdraw from Station S-C-R at this time and the next voice you will hear will come from Station L-C-I-G Where setting-up exercises are given. Now, everyone stand up straight like the figure number 2, rise up on your toes, raise your arms high over your head and take long deep breaths! Now, that was easy, let's try number six, then ten, a little more strenuous, and if we have time after we take a run around the gym you can practise a little basketball! Back again in the studio of Form IA a11d for our regular period with Mr. Breese and his British History talks. As Mr. Breese enters he hears a faint noise at the back and begins: What is wrong back there? Nothing, sir! Much ado about nothing, is his timely remark and the class is still. Well, to-day we are to take up the social times of Queen Elizabeth fthe boys sit up but in a few moments lapse back, the subject of his rant is not a little deceivinglj Perhaps the finest in- troduction I can make is to ask a few questions on what goes before, and what your general knowledge on the period is. tThe class looks as if it does not agree and before many moments Mr. Breese knows too that he should have started at the beginning and dis- pensed with the questions.l VVell, take this short note and to-morrow be pre- pared to study this interesting period. Three-thirty-this hour ushers in another period with Miss Garbutt and her French Songsters. The first num- ber on our programme is a song, Frere Jacques, by the ensemble. The second is a recitation, the best understood in the language, Un, deux, trois. . . Ding-daaa-a. When you hear the next musical note, in exactly tive min- utes time, it will be exactly four o'clock. Are you all ready, get your books up. Ding-- -Click. Please? HND... Oh please let me! Absolutely no. Please, dear, just this once. No, If Mother ever saw you- Well this is the last time I'll come to a place where I can't smoke. OW-OW! Ow-OW! it .1
