BORN DURING WAR
CHILDREN’S TEMPERAMENT. STABILITY NOT LACKING. LO.NDON, Jan. 11. The generalisation that children born during the Great War lack stability of temperament has become fashionable, but it is wrong, says Miss Froud, secretary of the Women’s Teachers’ Union. Some of the bad unemployment years would have been more harmful to children, she says. To-day’s 16-year-old children are splendid, being especially quick-thin king and self-reliant. Lord Hampton, Boy .Scout Commissioner, says he cannot see any deterioration in lads born in 1918. Mr. Gibbs, secretary of the London Schoolmasters’ Association, is of the opinion that, in spite of mothers’ nerveracking experiences during air raids, 16-year-old children are generally selfpossessed.
