UNTIDY TOWNS
SUNDAY MORNING LJ ;TTI,'R Impressed with the appalling untidiness about cities, on Sunday mornings, tins, papers and other waste scattered everywhere, the Minister of Education, the Hon. H. G. R. Mason, directed the attention of teachers to their civic responsibilities when addressing a refresher course in Palmerston North. The subject could be thought of as a matter of education and the child taught not to be content with slovenly surroundings. The child should be taijght to be content with nothing less than perfection. "If children were taught to keep towns- tidy," said the Minister, "we would have a more beautiful environment. Without suggesting that everything should be put on the shoulders of the school teacher, the greatest hones of the community are with them "
