Smoke in Cities
In London, domestic consumers of
coal contributed two and a half times more smoke to the. atmosphere than industrial consumers, Dr. R. O. Page told the Canterbury branch of the New Zealand Geographical Society recently. "Smolke is waste, and industrialists minimise waste with modern burners," Dr. Page said. However, the nuisance was another argument for withholding coal from use for heating, so that it could be used for its more valuable, 'by-products. Religious Teaching "As a teacher in a church school I think I am justified in urging that religious instruction be a prescribed examination subject (not necessarily compulsory) for the school certificate and university entrance examinations," writes Mr 11. A. H. Rnsull, in a letter published in a bulletin issued by the New Zealand Vocational Guidance Association. "As a citizen 1 would go further and would urge that instruction in the Christian faith should be available for all children in so-called "state' schools as. well as in private schools, and that it should not be available onlv_ to the children of those parents who can afford to pay fees for their children's schooling."
