CHILDREN OF TO-DAY.
GIRLS’ FINE QUALITIES. WHAT A LONDON HEADMISTRESS SAYS. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. Received 1.20 p.m. to-day. LONDON, June 13. “We alway-s make allowance for father’s strong language, but- now mother is nearly as bad, and it is having a serious effect upon the girls’ speech,” said Miss Morrison, principal of a London school, at a headmistresses’ conference. “This is all part of the so-called greater freedom. It is, in spite of this, or because of it, that the sixth form girl to-day is -so de lightful. She, perhaps, is ,a bit-hard, hut she has qualities of courage, comradeship and optimism whereon to build up her life. "Why, even granny to-day does not sit knitting in t a. corner reading a Bible, but cries aloud for betting tips and dunce favour®. Really the children of to-day are grown up al- - from the cradle.” —A, and N.Z. Assn.
