(By Telegraph.)
(Special to "The Evening Post")
CHRISTCHTJRCH, This Day. Change of habits and dress were dealt with by Archbishop 1-Julius at the prize-giving at St. Margaret's College yesterday afternoon. "I am not going to speak to the parents," said the Archbishop, "only to say that I.hope their .children, bring them up nicely. Happily our habits of training and caring for 'girls have changed. "No girl ought to be brought up without having some'occupation on which she can fall back in time of need.. If you want to. be popular .and make good wives learn cooking. . "While I have.been sitting here, I have been thinking of my dear old grandmother. How dreadfully shocked she would have been had she been here. In her time the girls were all hair and no legs; now they are air legs and no hair. I honestly believe that she would have had a fit, but, take it from me, the present arrangement is much better. I like to see you girls free to move and free to exercise your limbs. They did not do this in the old days, ana your mode of dress is a great advance."
