The great leader Comrade
"A revolution which does not love and care for the children has no future."
President
Though he had taken a series of steps to dress them in the best-quality cloth, he couldn't feel relieved. He managed to find time to visit the People's Palace of Culture in order to inspect the samples of clothing and shoes for children and students on December 23rd, Juche 67(1978) despite the fact that he was busy with the national conference of financial and banking officials.
In the resting room, newly-made samples of school uniforms and shoes were on display and the children and students, ranging from the kindergarten to the university, were standing in their new uniforms and shoes.
The President who went up to the kindergarteners first, patted their cheeks, looked about their dressing up and down, and said that the clothes with appliques were good but they were to be dressed only by girls and not by boys. This was the teaching in consideration of the boys who couldn't keep their pretty clothes clean once they were absorbed in games.
Then the President had a look at the cloth for summer and winter clothes of the pupils ranging from primary to secondary schools and gave detailed instructions on how to dress schoolboys and schoolgirls saying that both its color and quality were good.
After giving teachings on uniforms for college students, the President turned his eyes upon the neighboring uniforms for girl students in weskit form with 4 buttons on them.
The President looked at new uniforms for a while and asked which uniform girl students preferred between the old one and the new one.
Hearing the answer of an official that girl students preferred the new one, the President personally approached the girl student standing in the new uniform and asked her whether she preferred the new one to the old one.
As he heard the answer that she liked the new one, the President said with a beaming smile that the new one was good for girl students and that the old one was detrimental to their growth. Even the officials specializing in clothing hadn't noticed this problem before.
The President also gave detailed teachings to make fine collars of shirts for boy students and to make better neckties with the imported ones as samples.
And then he said that not only the samples but also the clothes for provision had to be well-made and it was necessary to improve the quality of the clothes and shoes for the pupils and students.
He went on to say that only when the pupils and students were well-dressed, could they make streets splendid and be accustomed to smart dressing.
The President mentioned that if students were dressed carelessly, they would be slovenly in their dress and they wouldn't keep factories and villages clean after graduation.
The President made the officials realize that dressing of students and pupils was not just a businesslike matter of making and providing them with clothes but an important matter that was related to the future of the country.
Even the dressing of our children was so closely associated with the vast love of the President that they are handing down his fatherly love everlastingly while earnestly longing the President.
