RIOTING AND IGNORANCE
Sir,—One cannot fail to be amused by Mr. Parkinson's letter in your issue of April 21, in which lie attributes the disgraceful display of hooliganism" in Queen .Street to lack of education. Considering it is an admitted fact that the trouble was caused principally by young larrikins and girls, who have not only passed the school age, and that they went to school during the time that money was lavished freely for education, one dreads to think what would have happened if another million or so were spent annually on education. The inference that the public, are drawing is not very flattering to the teachers, whose duty should have been to instruct these as to selfcontrol and good citizenship. Silverdale. W. F. Green.
