ANOTHER FAKE EXPOSED! IT IS SAID SCHOOL TEACHERS ASK FOR PROHIBITION! DO THEY? DO THEY? DO THEY? WHAT A COMMITTEE OF HEAD TEACHERS SAY. (REPRINTED PROM THE "N.Z. HERALD/* OCTOBER 28th, 1925.) The Editorial in the October issue of "National Education,” published in full bv the CHAMPION DISTORTIONISTS, the ■ Prohibition Party, is the opinion of one man, the Editor, a retired schoolmaster of estreme Prohibition ideas. His opinion is not based on any considered policy of Now Zealand teachers nor of the Educational Institute. NEVER DISCUSSED BY EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE. THE MATTER HAS NEVER EVEN BEEN DISCUSSED BY THE COUNCIL OP THE EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE, NOR BY ANY BRANCH OF THE EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE. SCHOOL TEACHERS, AS A BODY, ARE TOO BROADMINDED TO LEND THEIR AID TO ANY HYSTERICAL SECTION OP THE COMMUNITY. They know history; they know the value of Freedom of Mind and Conscience: they know the tyranny of Sectional Domin''.tion. Hence, they could pot, as a body, advocate tHfe small-minded T; i nuny of Prohibition. THE SMALL-MINDED TYRANNY OF PROHIBITION. "We wish, therefore, most emphatically to dissociate ourselves from the absurd notice published under our name as the Educational Institute. We do not want to Americanise New Zealand with a hideous system of Secret Drinking, Bootlegging, etc., with its attendant horrors of Espionage and all that pertains thereto. “Most of us know the 'Dry' Backblocks, the so-called 'No-License* areas. nd the corresponding cryiug evils resulting therefrom—evils well known to the friends of Real Temperance, who hear, see, and mark these evils, and who are, therfore, determined to influence as many as they can to act according to British Tradition by VOTING CONTINUANCE. •A COMMITTEE OF CITY HEADMASTERS.”
| "How do you eliminate . needle scratch?” is a question frequently asked at a “Melotone” demonstration. Billiards. Limited, the makers, have almost entirely eliminated all noises that ordinarily betray the gramophone. Thus the marvellous “Melotone” has become known as “the gramophone that never betrays itself.” It is not “gramophony.” Inspect full range of beautiful models at top floor, Baker’s Building, Featherston street.—Adrt.
