MENTAL BREAKAGE
Sir,*—Bernard Shaw once again cudgels (as he always has done) on behalf of the young. “Mentally breaking” children unearths no talent. Original thought has to have some time and peaceful place to develop. Exploitation of children after school, wireless along with homework, plus sport at the week-end, leave little time for the growth of individual philosophy or truly spiritual progress. To foster mental health in every future citizen for full living some imagination is necessary; or are we still afraid to leave a little chance for it to sprout?—Yours, etc., NO WISECRACK. March 12, 1948.
