Children and Patriotism. Tho telegram sent to thd Premier from tho ohildren of > tho ,Halcombo State School is an unhappy and exaggerated instance of the false ideas of patriotism at present obtaining in the country; It does not much mattor, perhaps,-that-sovc-al small children in a country school should want to send' a telegram to Sir Joseph Ward concerning a matter 1 they know very little about, but it is not to be supposed that they went away by themselves to the post office, and secretly sent that, patriotic telegram. One feels suro that they, had . adult encouragement, and were, perhaps told they wero doing a fine thing, and one is almost If 1 aid that Sir Joseph Ward will have to send a telegram thanking them And yet, certain it is that the small children have not tho faintest idea of what is involved bj the action of tho 1 Government in sending the Dreadnought. They have only a crudo idea that New Zealand has helped to pull England out of a t'ght corner It is doing a wrong to children to allow them to pat their elders on' the back with words of kind approval for quito grown-up actions, and tho master would have done well to hold that telegram ' back.
