TOG MUCH LARRIKIN ISM.’
PROTEST BY CLERGYMAN
SYDNEY, Dec. 24. ‘There is too much larrikinism and hooliganism in the talk of our legislative halls,” declared the Rev. D. I<. Brandt, at • the Scots Cohego speech day ceremonies. “There is need tor iTißii who uso decent and clean language. , It was a wonder, Mr. Brandt added, how some of the finer young men tolerated it. New South Wales was crying out in a loud voice for young men to go into politics who would give themselves to the State for the sake of the State. Soots College wanted to send out young men with high ideals, who would make their consecrated manhood felt for good in the life of the State. The great public schools were necessary in the life ol the community. Mr. Brandt said he did not agree with a high Church dignitary who had attacked the existing system or State school education and his condemnation of public school life. It was not right to decry the State system as he had. There was a great need for the great public schools, because they produced a. type of manhood that could not be produced elsewhere.
