A teacher’s job is to teach children; a parent’s job is to rear children. – Yours, etc,

Sir, – Travelling on the Dart from Dún Laoghaire some time ago, I was most impressed by a very well-behaved group of scouts.
At the various “stops”, a nod from the girl in charge led to one of her group hopping up and offering the seat to an older citizen. – Yours, etc,
