‘Is There A Colour Bar?’ The Editor, ‘Te Ao Hou’. I read with great sympathy R.D.'s letter headed, ‘Is There a Colour Bar?’ An experience such as that suffered by her little daughter of ten leaves a scar which may affect one for life. That her mother has risen above a similar happening shows a generosity of mind to be proud of. A headmaster and infant mistress are responsible for the general behaviour of children in the playground; and though they cannot check all bullying and cruel behaviour, they can do a great deal towards making things better if—and that is the point—they are aware of what is going on. I feel that R.D. should approach the headmaster privately, unknown to the children, including her own, tell him the situation, and see if he can deal with it if it occurs again. A.E.B. (Dunedin)
