The greatest problem facing New i Zealand to-day is not adult unemployment, great though it is, but the problem of the hundreds of boys who aro leaving school without chances of employment,” said Bishop Sprott, at the closing ceremony at Croydon School. ! Day’s Bay, Wellington. “The danger is that many of the boys and girls may reach adolescence without ever learning the responsibilities of work, and the result will be most intense competition. It will be a difficult matter for those who have not been sufficiently educated and prepared to obtain a worthy position, I do not de- | precate technical tuition; knowledge and skill will always be essential. But 1 character is even more essential, and without that no one will avail much in the responsibility of work. The I i (>al bedrock Oi character is the sense of Cod and duty,” lie concluded. “Par* of the tragedy of the past generation and the generation in which we are j living is that these realities have been drifting apart in our lives, and character has suffered.” i j What a nice Xmas box.
