THE MEANING OF BEAUTY
Lecturing m Hastings, Mr Douglas Tayler, the "Director of Music m Schools," said: "Emotions and imagination dominate our lives m the long run, and by those things, rather than by his intellect, man is drawn to do all that he does. t "If we stimulate the emotions of children by beautiful music we will stimulate them to love all beautiful things. What is the value of beauty? It cannot alone create happiness, ' but ugliness can create unhappiness. That 'is how a great deal of our industrial discontent is created — it is bred by ugliness m the lives of the workers. I would like to think that New Zealand children will be so taught to love the beautiful for. their own sake that they will show that love by building beautiful industrial areas. But beauty will not do everything. It will do nothing if men are centred m themselves, but only where they look towards their God and towards their fellows."
