BASQUE CHILDREN'S BULLETIN.
No: 2. August 1938.
EDITORIAL.
The office must start with an apology for its late appearance, a move from the old house at 53, Marshan Street, to the new quarters at 4, Great Smith Street, has been partly responsible for the delay. It is hoped that any members of local Committees who are up and down will make a point of calling at the office and seeing us in our new home, a set of old roomy brick huts tucked away behind the tall buildings of Westminster.
This second bulletin is being devoted mainly to the question of the children's education. The idea is in subsequent numbers to devote each one to the different aspect of the work among the children. The next problem to be tackled will be that of their health.
LITERATURE.
See circular letter of last week.
Enclosed with this bulletin is a specimen copy of the new leaflet which has been produced at Head Office. Quantities can be obtained through us with the wording and address of the local Committee should it be desired to make use of them for local purposes. Further particulars will be sent on application.
BASQUE BALLET MUSIC.
Tho office is hoping soon to be able to distribute to the Homes copies of the traditional tunes to which the children dance as the music is now being harmonised and made suitable for instrumentation apart fron the txistu and the Basque drum. The dances for which we shall have music are the following:-
1. Espatadantza
2. Tintadantza.
3. Arku-Dantza.
4. Biribilketa.
5. Fandango.
6. Arin-Arin.
FAREWELL.
Since this bulletin is going out, may Miss Arne as Secretary of the Basque Children's Committee for the last fourteen months, take this opportunity of saying "Good-bye" to all of those up and down the country with whom she has worked since the children came. It has been a long and very often a difficult task. In looking back, however, over the year's work, she cannot help but feel that she has been engaged with all of you in one of the finest pieces of work put through by any body of people in this country. She is proud to remember her connection with the Basque Children's Committee and those who are working with them up and down the country, and in saying
