One 'thing . I would like; to see
added'''to • the: curriculum," in our
public schools is :`a course- in
'ethics . and manners. We could
"Call it- Social',Behaviour•or- some-
thing '• fancy like : that It; would
start by teaching youngsters that
practically ,everything they learn
at. home. 'is wrong. At the same
time/ they would .'• be taught ' to
treat their parents: with respect:
instead • of derision. This, as: you
can ' see, would: be a:, difficult
• course, and would require spec-
ialists to. teach it.'
For example, at home kids
get the idea that (a), the world
owes them,' •a living and `that (b)
:the' old', man 'will .,supply it until
the world starts to kick through.
.:At 'school. they Would be ..taught
that it is.a:.privilege . just to be
alive; and that •,they owe, the
world 'their: best .efforts and the
•old • man something better' than
a 'room, in a nursing .home when
he can't produce .any .more.

Girls would be taught that it
takes more than a','bust ' and'a

Girls .would be..told primary role
