MORALITY OF THE YOUNG. MR BUTCHERS IN REPLY. ■ rnli33 . ASSOCIATION TBLKGIiAH.) WELLINGTON, November 19. • Mr A. G. Butchers, author of "Education in New Zealand," replying to statements made by members of yesterday's deputation to the Minister for Education (the Hon. H. Atmore), said that they had produced no statistics and offered no figures in support of their contention that hiß warning was based on erroneous, illogical, and unscientific deductions. He was pleased that women's organisations had taken the matter up. Once tlio women of New Zealand were thoroughly aroused as to the facts he felt that they 'would move heaven and earth to make him a false prophet, and if they succeeded, no one would be more pleased than himself. It was absurd that the matter should be discussed as if it concerned only the women of New Zealand. In the book he had expressly referred to the probable future morality of boys as well as girls. Apparently Mr R. A. Wright, M.P., was the only male member of the deputation. What had the men of New Zealand to say about it? Mr Butchers saici that the figures relating to the whole field of extra-nup-tiaJ Births quoted by Mr Atmore were entirely beside th© point. The question was not whether New Zealand was b«*tter or worse than othor countries j He hoped that the Government would i see fit to appoint a Royal Commission to investigate the facts.

GOVERNOR-GENERAL.

J VISIT TO TIMARU CONVEX!'. I to '.i'Ki: ravas.: ! TIMARU. November 19. i A striking feature of the decorations at the reception to -heir Excellencies, I.ord and l.ady Bledisloe, at the Convent of the Sacred Heart to-day. was a shield bearing the arms of the Gover-nor-General. In replying to the welcome his Excellency, who greatly appreciated this graceful courtesy, eaid that he would relate something of the history of his family, which he had not done previously. Their Excellencies were welcomed by the Mother (Superior (the Rev. Mother O'Donnell). Tho reception-room was tastefully decorated with flowers aud greenery. Tho welcome to their Excellencies was sung in verso. Hi 6 Excellency was presented with a beau-tifully-illuminated scroll, containing tho welcome, and Lady Bledisloe with u bouquet In expressing his appreciation ot the his Excellency said tliat although Tie and her Excellency had visited many schools, lie could not remember one where they had been entertained on their arrival with such a well-pre-pared and skilfully-executed programme of welcome —musical, religious, and, if he might say, dramatic. life would specially like to thank Phyllis Coulter, a, member of an old and muchrespected pioneer family of the Marlborough district, for the particularly gracious manner in which sho had recited the welcome and presented the address. He noticed that an excel-lently-executed representation of his eoat of arms and motto: "Hold fast to the faith," had been hung in a prominent position in the room. They all knew the convent was an old French institution, which had been transplanted from France mare than 51 years ago. Ho was of Norman descent and his motto was an ok Norman French motto. His family was proud to believe that their anoes-

tors camo over to England at the timo of tho Norman conquest. With her Excellency ho had visited Normanby, where they had seen the famous shrine of St. Therese do Lisileux, ' The Lady of Flower."," who was the very personification of joyfulness. It was always good, both for themselves and for those with whom thev camo in contact, to bo joyful. They all realised that there were no more efficient schools in New Zealand, or in the Old Country, than the Convent schools, which inspired noble sentiments, high ideals, and strictly moral character. Lord Bledisloe quoted the King's message in which his Majesty stated that upon tho young people depended the whole future ot tho British Empire, and that upon them would rest not merely the great privileges, but the great responsibilities of citizenship li' that Empire. There w«re many direct educational agencies, but there were some indirect educational agencies which perhaps were not made full use of. One or them was the wireless, and the other Tra.s the cinema. The cinema could be an enormous power for good or_ evil. "I doubt," said hi£ Excellency, 'Jif the cinema is doing all it might do the way of improving our minds, adding to our happiness, and raisins our ideals. It remains for the youn£ • people to make it more useful and more elevating than it has been in tho past." Those who had the ad ran-
