TRUE HAPPINESS
CRADLE AND THE HOME
The* importance of home and family life was emphasised by the High Com-* missioner for the United Kingdom, Sir Harry Batterbee, in an address to the Feilding Civic Club last week. I have'been looking lately at some of the model houses which have been built near Wellington under the auspices of the Rehabilitation Board," he said. "I was specially impressed /by one with a sun lounge for the children which could be used as a third bedroom, and I have sent the plans of this house to England, asking in return for some of their plans. I think that it might be a good thing to have consultation between the various British countries to see which can, produce, within the necessary limits of expense, the best, the most commodious, and the most beautiful house. But the mere building of homes is not enough witnout building the home and family life> which is the basis of all true happiness. We want childi'en to fill the homes; we want our cradles and schools full and our gaols and hospitals empty. The key to a future happier world lies in the good bringing up and education of children."
