CRACK IN CIVILISATION.
LACK OF HOME LIFE. At the conference of education boards at Wellington, Mr. E. C. Cutten, S.M., gave a brief address on the call of the Young Citizens’ League. He said there was a growing looseness in the control of child life, consequent upon the almost total lack of the best home influences. The result was that there was a growing impurity in life and a growth of dishonesty, which must be checked if the nation were to be saved. Only a few days ago a cable memg® had reported Professor Peat as saying that "there was a serious crack in our civilisation.” Unfortunately the system of education here was purely intellectual, so they had to do something to make amends, and through the Young Citizens’ League they were endeavoring to do something in the nature of spiritual aspiration and thought. *, The chairman. Mr. T. Forsyth, ex* passed the thanks of the boards to Mr. Cutten, and trusted that, the delegates would do all they could to help the Young Citizens’ League, and Mr. Cutten himself when- he visited their districts.
