A NOTE OF WARNING. i "I should like to beg of mothers to let nothing induce them to let their little girls take part in any entertainment where from the nature ot the case the attractions of the performance are a consideration," staTeu "KTrss Pulling, headmistress of the Auckland Diocesan High School for Girls, in the course of her annual report presented at the annual speech day on Wednesday. "The dances and recitations and dramatic situations in which it amuses grown-up people to see little children take part, are often terribly quick to destroy their simplicity and teach the beginnings of v selfconsciousness and pertness. It involves the health, nerve, modesty, and charm of the girls. I know the hea'.of other Auckland schools feel with me, that we see the beginnings of harm earlier than parents do, and that we are to blame if we do not sound the warning."
