Children In The Country
IFE in the country is a good life and the best life in the world for children, who learn among other things to depend on themselves and to think for themselves and to make their own amusements. I had a letter from a girl in England not long ago. With her children she has been banished from London for the duration of the war. " You will be surprised to hear," she wrote, "that I simply love the life. As for the boys, they revel in it, and are learning all sorts of interesting things about birds, trees, and animals. Now we are getting very learned in country lore. If I could be grateful to Hitler for anything, it would be for this chance we are having to learn something about the things that really matter, the things that are going on whatever happens."-(From a talk by " Margaret,’ over YA stations.)
