ORIGINAL CORRESPONDENCE.
[We are at all times ready to give expression to every shade of opinion, but in no case do we hold ourselves responsible for the sentiments of our correspondents.]
TO THE EDITOR OF THE AKAROA MAIL. I should like to know your opinion on Good Templarism, and more especially on that branch called Juvenile Templars. I have thought about it so much, that I have got rather confused. Tell me can it be good for children to take a solemn obligation while they are yet too young to understand its meaning, and am I right in thinking that the best training for youngminds are parents and teachers. If the Good Templars of Akaroa are so anxious to work for the good of their cause might they not begin by improving the tone of their own lodge. lam not a Good Templar, though I admire them very much, and for young men I think it a good institution, but had I daughters or young children, I should prefer the retirement of their own homes. I am &c, AN ENQUIRER.
