Column Comment
This is the 'silly season' with the papers full of advertising, but not much news. Reporting of school breakup ceremonies produce reports of condemnation of youth and predictions of moral disaster. One headmaster said that teenagers were difficult and too much of his time was spent of 'churlish and ill mannered' pupils. Teenagers are variously described as; lacking manners; intolerant of opinion other than its own; thoroughly spoilt and thinks the world owes it a living. Various youth movements are countering these opinions.
A weekly review of the press in New Zealand from the New Zealand Broadcasting Corporation (NZBC). Theme is Miles Davis, Milestones
