CHILD PICTUREGOER
Duty of Teachers HOMAN CATHOLIC OPINION By Telegraph.—Press Association. Dunedin, January 24. The annual conference of the Catholic Teachers’ Association, which opened on Tuesday morning and concluded today, passed the following resolution :— “That this conference of Catholic teachers, aware of the unwholesome nature of many of our films, even for adults, views with alarm the frequency with which children attend these same pictures. While there is all the difference in the world between one picture and another in regard to .suen harmful influence, it seems that many children are allowed to go indiscriminately to whatever pictures they themselves fancy. This conference therefore considers that, besides the very grave duty that parents have in seeing that their children go only to good pictures, teachers also have the duty of trying to educate the conscience of the child itself to a greater delicacy on this vital matter.” The election of officers for the ensuing year resulted as follows:—President, the Rev. Bro. Harcisius (Sacred Heart College, Auckland); vice-presi-dents, the Rev. Father Terry (Auckland), the Rec. Father A. Cullen (St. Patrick's College, Wellington), tne Rev. Father Burger (St. Bede’s College, Christchurch), the Rev. Bro. Benignus (Provincial, Marist Brothers), and the Rev. Bro. M. M. O’Connor (St. Kelvin’s College, Oaniaru) ; secretary, a Marist Brother (to be appointed). The conference passed a resolution expressing deep regret at the death of Archbishop Redwood, and resolved to forward a message of congratulation to Archbishop O'Shea on his assumption of office as Archbishop of Wellington and Metropolitan. A resolution was carried regretting the impending departure of his Excellency the Governor-General. Lord Bledisloe, and thanking him for hi* consistently friendly interest in th I .* Catholic schools of the Dominion.
