Material welfare is good but it is not enough, I have taught in an elementary school and am now a farmer concerned only with producing food for the body—but how much I commend the sad farce, of state ' education' to those who profess to be con- cerned with spiritual and mental welfare and the cause of true education. ' No lesson is so important to learn, and no habit is so important to acquire, as a right judgement and a delight in fine characters and noble actions '—quoted by Sir Richard Livingstone in Education for a World Adrift.—Yours faithfully,
