"WOBBLY " SINGERS
TEACHER'S COMPLAINT OF THE WIRELESS.
Mr. George Dodds, the Newcastle teacher of ainging, continuing his lectures at the summer course in music teaching at Oxford, con- demned the "wobbly" voice.
"You have only to listen to the wireless," he said, "to hear these wobbly singers. One of the sad things is that people in outlying districts hear these wireless wob blers and think it is the thing to do, so try and imitate them. They think it is emotion, whereas, of courao, it is instability.
"I have even had some of these misguided listeners come and ask me to teach them to wobble like the singers on the wireless. Mr. Basil Allchin, professor at the Royal College of Music, said that there was only one real study of music, and that was to make it oneself. "I am quite sure," he said, "that the growing danger to
day is the fact that the wireless, gramophone, and other mechanical means of producing music, haw. ever perfect, are the worst thing that ever happened to Britain if they are going to cause British people to make less music
That is a thing wo themselves. have to guard against very strong ly. The moment one begins to make music for oneself a very much higher mental and
aural training is required."
for
Messrs. Router's, that he did not, think there would be any clashing between the Broadcast Service and the News Service, as at present conducted by Messrs. Reuter's through the Dominions.
In reply to questions, Sir John Reith said that steps would havė to be taken to prevent the re- publication of the news bulletina in Colonial newspapers except per- hapa in those cases where tho copyright had by passage of time become valueless. With regard to technical difficulties In reception
FUTURE OF EMPIRE owing to fading, atmospherics, and
BROADCASTING.
Discussed by Colonial Conference.
The future of Empire Broadcast- ing was one of the subjects dis- cussed at the recent Colonial Office Conference and the following ex- tracts from the official summary of proceedings (to hand by the last mail) should prove of much local interest.
The Conference was addressed by Sir John Reith, Director General of the British Broadcast ing Corporation, who reminded the Conference that, during the past few years, a series of experiments in short-wave telephony with dis- tant countries had been conducted by the Corporation in co-opera- tion with other bodies. As a re- sult of these experiments, the British Broadcasting Corporation had been able In November, 1929, to produce a scheme for Empire broadcasting, which was calculat ed to meet the needs of both the lonely Hatener and those terri- tories where there were already local broadcasting agencies.
other factors, he said that it was probable that most of these diff- culties in reception owing to fad- ing atmospherics, and other fac- tors, he said that it was probable that most of these difficulties would be overcome under the scheme which had been put for- ward.
A general desire was expressed by the Conference that as Empire broadcasting service should be instituted, and that the Colonies should make at least some tribution towards its cost.
CON-
The representatives of Southern Rhodesia and of the High Commla-} aton Territories in South Africa said that their respective terri- tories would contribute towards a scheme such as that which had been adumbrated, provided that they could be assured of a reason- able service.
The subject was then referred to the appropriate committee.
Committee's Recommendations.
This committee, after a discus- son of this subject with repre-i sentatives of the British Broad- casting Corporation, agreed upon the following recommendations:
(1) That a recommendation should, be made to the Secretary of State that he should approve the scheme for Empire Broadcast- ing set out in the letter from the British. Broadcasting Corpora- tion of June 24.. It is understood that some modifications will, in
Sir John said the idea on which this scheme was based was that, If a properly designed short-wave station were constructed, the De- pendencies overseas could enjoy a service which, though not com- practice, be found necessary in re-
