AN one immagine any Hong- kong headmaster addressing an assembled school in this way? Can we imagine the indignant protests which would come from parents and from the general public?

Nevertheless a "message" not unlike this was read aloud in schools In England few weeks ago. Not all schools, of course, for refused .to many teachers deliver auch a message, "Many Of you are going to die," wrote the well-known author, and having "shocked" the children into listening he warned them about the prospect of war in the near future.

The odd thing was that the parents and teachers were more appalled by the brutality of the words than were the boys and

NOTHER war, thank heaven, is not in- evitable. It is still possible, if the peoples of the world will net sanely and honourably, to pre- vent such a catastrophe. Our boys and girls are not doonied to be slaughtered before they have a chance to grow up.

Something must be done to prevent this tragic waste of young life. The scaremongering method is one way-a bad way. There must be a better way of educating young people to take care of themselves.

The younger genera- tion of human beings is being new tramc-con- trained in a sciousness, and future races will have the safety-instinct born in them.

BUT

But how can children be

taught to take care of themselves in the streets? The most obvious plan is to "lecture" them a dozen imes a day, but children hate to be told the same thing over and over again.

Once they have grasped the gist of the daily warnings they merely pretend to sten. The truth is they are exally bored, and every repetition makes less impression than the one before. Still, the

inve lessons

10 be hammered home.

Two types of children require exceptional attention. The first is the little daydreamer who becomes obilviens of his surroundings and Onc Ilves in a work of fantasy. often passes these children with the faraway look, and there is no doubt that they form a large per- centage of the casualties of the streets,

-----The "accond is-the-child-who-is full of vitality and ready for any mischief that comes along. If he were delicate or timid he would be safe, but his high animal spirits make him careless of danger.

SOMEHOW

OMEHOW or other we must compel these young children to realise the dangers that hurlie past like thunderbolts within a yard of them. They must learn the watchwords of safety till they know them by heart.

The idea of making children write out the principal slogans is excellent. We older people can never forget those maxins.of the copybooka" Honesty is the best polley" "A stitch in time saves nine," and "Punctuality is the soul of bustness."

The man who chose those morals was trying to catch two fish with one hook. Ostensibly he was try- ing to improve our handwriting. but he was not less concerned in making us into good clerks and decent citizens.

of

The old copybook with its cop- perplate handwriting has disap- peared from the majority schools and the amount of "steady grind " has diminished; but certain things have to be mastered thor": oughly because they have to last a lifetime.
