Rebuke To Children At Coronation Day
Eric J. Laird, headmaster of Gloucester, rebukes public censure of school children by religious leaders during Coronation Day events. He argues the rebuke was public and should be avoided, noting most pupils waited calmly and the day held greater significance for them. He urges the reverend chairmen to withdraw the rebuke.
