MOTTO Do not keep your wishbone where your backbone ought to be. JUBILEE WEEK Dear Girls and Boys,— This has been' Jubilee Week, and you have taken part with your schools in celebrations of the 25th anniversary of the accession of • King George V. to the throne. Twenty-five years is quite a long tone in the reign of a King or the lifetime of a man or woman. Some of ' the older folk -of your acquaintance will have lived through the reigns of three monarchs Queen Victoria (1837-1901), King Edward (1901-1910) and our King George V. (from 1910), while others have lived under two Kings, and you yourselves have known of only one King. Next week you will be enjoying .holidays, so perhaps that will give some of you more time for letterwriting. I hope my post bag is full next week. Love from KIWI.
