AIMS OF GUIDING
“AN EDUCATION FOR LIFE” (P.A.) WELLINGTON, October 2. In an address on the occasion of the twentyfirst anniversary of the foundation of the Girl Guides’ Association, the Governor-General, Sir Cyril Newall, recalled the aim of the movement as stated by its founder, Lord BadenPowell: “Character development towards happy citizenship through natural, rather than artificial, means.” Guiding, said his Excellency, was an education for life, for an attitude of mind which could not be learned from books alone. It was generally conceded that the young were the nation’s greatest asset and he urged parents to give their daughters every encouragement to lake up guiding.
