NOT UNSTABLE
CHILDREN OF WAR YEARS
A TEACHER'S DEFENCE
LONDON, January 22,
The generalisation that children born during the Great War lack stability of temperament has become fashionable, but it is wrong, says Miss Froud, secretary of the Women Teachers' Union.
Some of the bad unemployment years would have been more harmful to children, she says. Today's sixteen-year-old children are splendid, being especi-
ly quick-thinking and self-reliant.
Lord Hampton, Boy Scout Commissioner, says that he cannot see any deterioration in lads born in 1918.
Mr. Gibbs, secretary of the London Schoolmasters' Association, is of the opinion that, in spite of mothers' nerveracking experiences during air raids, sixtoen-year-old children aro generally self-possessed.
