A striking, example of determination was mentioned last week by Mr. F. W. Gresham, a Christchurch dentist. While travelling in Japan ho noticed a little Japanese girl, not more than 12, who though handicapped by a baby strapped across her chest, was doing her best to master the English game of hopscotch. Her struggles to maintain her balance were gallant' and amusing said Mr.- Gresham.-It-was a .common thing, he said, for Japanese children to take their younger ..isters or brothers to. school, strapped to their backs.
