EDUCATION COMMISSION
A LADY PRINCIPAL'S EVIDENCE
SOME STRONG REMARKS
B.' TELEGEAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION
WELLINGTON, July 11
Before the Education Commission Miss McLean, Principal of the Wellington Girls' High School, said New Zealand was lagging behind Australia, where for the most part the New South Wales system of Bible-reading had been adopted. The results of this omission in New Zealand were evident in the unhealthy love of excitement and pleasure, in the want of respect for authority, and generally the want of reverence and looseness of moral ideas. Not to be aware of these things was to stamp us as living in a fool's paradise. In England, where Bible teaching is given, there was, witness thought, a higher standard of morality and conduct than in the countries where it is not given.
