CHILDREN OF TO-DAY
GROWN-UP FROM CRADLE SO-CALLED GREATER FREEDOM A HEADMISTRESS’S REMARKS. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, June 13. (Received June 14, at 12.5 p.m.) “We always make allowance for father’s strong language, but now mother is nearly as bad, and it is having a serious effect on girls’ speech,” said Miss Morison, the principal of a London school, at the Headmistresses’ Conference. “ This is all a part of the so-called greater freedom. It is in spite of this, or because of it, that the sixth form girl of to-day is so delightful. She is perhaps a bit hard, but she has the qualities of courage, comradeship, and optimism on which to build up her life. Why, even granny to-day does not sit knitting in a corner or reading the Bible, but cries aloud for betting tips and dance favors. Really, the children of to-day are grown up almost from the cradle.”—A. and N.Z. Cable.
