CANTONESE LESSONS OVER THE RADIO.

To the Editor, "China Hall")

Sir,As the one who wrote to You suggesting the desirability of, the Radio Committee arranging for Dr. Wells to broadcast his lessons in Cantonese, may I be permitted through your valued correspondence column, upon the completion of the present series of lessons by Dr. Wells this evening, to express to him and to the committee my very hearty appreciation of his excellent and self-denying teaching, also to, suggest that it would not only be a gracious act but a helpful one if a number of interested "listeners-ia” would write either to you, or to the, Committee, or to Dr. Wells person. ally and express their gratitude.j Probably would be surprising to know how far-reaching the influence] of this teaching of the local dialect) has been over the air, and how many persons have benefitted by it.

I was amazed to learn recently of a Chinese gentleman in Toronto sending an enquiry regarding the text-book used in the Cantonese lessons to which he had been lis tening in Toronto, broadcast from Z.B.W. Hong Kong. This Chinese man does not speak Cantonese, bat was picking it up by listening to Dr. Wells's simple expositions over the radio!
