E. Flower (chairman of the Canterbury University College Council) at the annual presentation of prizes to pupils of the Christchurch Girls’ High School yesterday morning; The chief landmark of -- the year, he said, was the opening' of the swimming baths, and it was his hope, he declared, that by. the end of next year there would not be a girl in the school , could not swim. It riles me when I read in . the paper . Jftat the standard of living in New Zea- . land must be raised,” said Mr 1 Flower, Ours la- the highest standard In the world." A: high standard did not mean more chocolates to eat, nicer things to - 5’ e l r - and a high-powered. motorrcar to , a ®ah about in. It. implied a serene atmoin the home which could be achieved by the lubricant of good man«ars, good taste, and affection. -Those ■ tnings went much further ■ than. mere. 6x- ■ “raals.
