THE VOICE OF YOUTH.
TO TUB EDITOR. Sir,—At last the above session has come to an end. The small group in “The Voice of Youth” show plainly that they know absolutely nothing, and the sooner they are all sent into the world to rub shoulders with their fellow men and women the better. If they are capable of assimilating general knowledge of things that really matter m life, things that “ Ordinary People ” don’t find “ too boring,” these selfsatisfied adolescents will realise that such immature ideas and opinions as they express are piffling. To allow them to add to their sense of importance by the broadcasting of such vapourings makes one wonder what brand of intelligence conceived the idea of “ The A 7 oice of Youth.” The announcer asks “ AVhat do you think? ” My reply is—-At last I know the reason for the saying “Children should be seen and not heard.” If we must have a “ Voice of Youth ” session,' let the subjects under discussion be sensible ones, each subject to be discussed by a different group of young people taken from the senior classes in primary schools, the secondary schools, the factories, or the shops.—l am. etc., March 5. Ham Sandwich.
