In an address on “School Music,” given to a meeting of the ParentTeacher Association of the Christchurch Boys’ High School, Mr V. C. Peters said that when he was in England he had been informed by a medical authority that New Zealand doctors did fine work, as doctors, but that they were found to be unresponsive in regard to music, books, and art. Australians were similarly catalogued. Mr Peters sai dthat he thought such a condition was symptomatic of New Zealand culture in general. He said that a musical training opened the door to a great brotherhood, as it was a truly international language, and furthermore, increased a man's personal resources in living a full and satisfying life.
