Rioting and Ignorance
To the Editor. Sir, —I have been directed by the 1 executivo of tho New Zealand Educational Institute to ask for spaco in which to point tho moral of tho recent riots in Dunedin and Auckland. They were in both cases the result of ignorance and lack of restraint —in other words, the want of education. The problem of tho uneducated' adolescent is one of the major problems of tho day. The only way to deal with him is to educate him. And yet the purblind possessors of wealth in this country arc continually saying of tho education vote: “Cut it flown by a million.” They are so obsessed that they cannot see that the only protection against disorder and violence leading to revolution is more and better education. —1 am, etc., H. A. PARKINSON, Secretary, N.Z.E.I.
