VALUE OF HOME LIFE PARENTS’ CONTROL OF THEIR CHILDREN WOMEN'S NATIONAL RESERVE Wives, mothers and widows of exsailors and soldiers were guests of the Women’s National Reserve at an afternoon in the Y.W.C.A. Hall yesterday. Mrs. F. Fitchett, president of the. reserve was in the chair, and had associated with her on the platform the Mayoress, Mrs. A. D. Mrs. Averill, Mrs. John Cook and Canon Percival James. Bouquets were presented to Mrs. Campbell and Mrs. Fitchett. The president welcomed the guests and spoke of th© efforts that had been made to secure a rest room in the city for mothers. With a matron in attendance daily, mothers with their children found it a very great boon indeed. Canon James stressed the value of home life. One of the greatest menaces to-day was the decay of this and the frequent dissolution of marriage. He expressed the opinion that children were not taught to obey as they should, nor did parents exercise enough control over them. That mothers should allow their children to go to picture shows without knowing what was being serened he thought a very wrong thing. Canon James also condemned the way in which young girls were allowed to run about the city at night, and quoted statistics bearing upon illegitimacy in New Zealand. lie urged women to do their best to alter these conditions, one. of the ways in which this could be done being to make their influence in the home paramount for what was good and beautiful. A programme of songs, instrumental music and recitations was given as follows:—Duet, Mrs. Owen and Mrs. Le Petit ; musical monologue, Miss Palmer; songs Mrs. Reeves, Mrs. Owen, Mr. F. Sutherland and Mrs. Richards: recitation, Miss Jean Gregg: humorous sketch, Mr. Alan McElwain. Afternoon Lea was served.
