A DIET OF DOGMA

Sir, - Dr Philip McGarry makes a very good point (May 15th) when he refers to vegetarians and so on. In effect he is advocating a society in which no one has a monopoly on deciding which body of dogmas will be instilled into the child's mind. But a healthier society would be one in which the child were not deliberately subjected to any dogma at all, and the vast number of hours now invested in indoctrination were instead devoted to having him think. - Yours, etc.,
