PARENTS BLAMED

CHILDREN NOT HAPPY NEED FOR MORE COMPANY “Is the best for your children luxury living, extra sweets and expensive playthings, without the companionship of other children?” said Mrs J. L. Stone-Wigg, of Winchester, in an address to members of the women’s branch of the New Zealand National Party. Timaru electorate, on the subject of the falling birthrate. “At one time,” continued the speaker. “children did not like being sent to boarding school, but now they love the companionship which they enjoy there and miss at home. Children do not want expensive or elaborate toys: they are happiest with a piece of wood and a couple of nails. So that those parents who give their children everything except brothers and sisters are not doing the best by them.”
