RIOTING AND IGNORANCE. (To the Editor.) Sir—l have been directed by the Executive of the New Zealand Educational Institute to ask for space in which to point the moral of the recent riots in Dunedin and Auckland. They were i n both cases the result of ignorance and lack of restraint—in other words, the result of want of education. The problem of the uneducated adolescent is one of the major problems of the present day. The only way to deal with him is to educate him. And yet th? purblind p'ossesors of wealth in this country are continually saying of the education vote —“Cut it dow u by a million.” They are so obsessed that they cannot see that the only protection against disorder a nd violence leading to revolution is more and better education.—l am etc., H. A. PARKINSON, Secretary, N.Z.E.1., Wellington.
