BOYS AND GIRLS OF TO-DAY
SOMETHING of Commissioner Cooksey's meaning, when he spoke of the tremendous weight of world responsibility devolving upon the shoulders of the coming generation, will become patent to those of us who think for a moment as we regard cur own children and watch their development. It is not sufficient that we merely turn them out as citizens to be good tradesmen, professional men or labourers—there iillist be a wider and broader view than that. They must be taught to view world affairs in a more tolerant and understanding light than we were privileged to be taught. They must be shown the way of uprightness and fearlessness, untsfc-nished by pre-war selfishness and conceit. All these things lie with us as parents and the summons to duty is sounding.
