Hearts and Brains
HAPPY FAMILIES would seem to be a most aptly-titled session. if only because its first instalment, a discussion "What part should parents play in the education of their children?" provided
such a nice example of graceful differing. But this alone, of course, would not make the _ session memorable: we are used-nay, resigned -to civilised discussion over the nonpatliamentary air. But this discussion really got somewhere, thanks largely to the ruthless Socratic technique used by Dr. Sutch as chairman. His point blank questions required answers specific and sincere, and the apparently trivial incident was cleverly used to headlight the larger principle. It shows what can be done when you get a panel of ex-
perienced speakers talking on a subject that engages their hearts as well as their
brains,
