"Young Cobhams”
' Sir. —When the Waitnairi County Council recently discussed the relative merits of the Freedom from Hunger Campaign and the Outward Bound Trust. Cr, A. R Blank “wholeheartedly" supported the trust —in which I am with him—"because the movement could produce I "young Cobhams . . . the chaps we want, people like the Governor-General.” There II turn my back on Cr. Blank, not because I do not more than admire the GovernorGeneral. but because I loathe I the notion that all good i things and all good men should conform to one approved pattern. Has it not occurred to Cr. Blank that Lord Cobham has struck so deep into our thought and J affection because he is so unusual a man? So independjent and unconventional? That She is so because of his own gifts and because his education did not require him to conform to a pattern 9 Yet Cr. Blank spoke—he said he spoke—“as an educationist"! —Yours, etc.. QUINK. August 19. 1962.
