To the Editor of the "Norra-Cuina Dairy News."
Sir,—"A Mother" is anxious to "encourage our children to make friends with as many foreign (to them) children as possible and imbue in them the idea that there is no distinction between nations.' In "The Civilian's South India," by "Civilian," there is a graphic portrayal of some of the qualities exhibited by young Indians. This is his testimony:—'How, for instance, are you to tackle fellows who are one age in body, another in soul, and quite another in mind? How are you to reconcile your British schoolboy, keen on games, essentially young, with your actual Brahmin youth who has been married for some years, is possibly a father, is aware of love both sacred and profane, and' is essentially mature? cee Who ever heard of an affray' in which the Sixth Form stabbed each other with daggers? Who ever heard of a Fourth Form Examination in which the favourite was assassinate ed by poisoners suborned by the runner-up? Who ever heard of a defeated school footer team endeavouring to bring a suit against the cup-winners because the ground on which the game was played was six inches too long?"
Could there possibly be a greater distinction between nations than "Civilian" exposes?
