Edwards, headmistress of the Auckland Diocesan Girls’ High School, in presenting her report at the annual'speech day (says the “Star”). “Carlyle says of foolish girls reading poor novels that the mad theorem of life stamped on to those young minds comes out in solid practice one day,” Miss Edwards said. “Whatever would he have said of the wild lunacy seen with their eyes and heard with their ears at the talkies?
