All that needs to be done here is to underline the connexion between the two and further to suggest that the study of the weather, apart from being of importance in itself, may be linked to local geographical and nature studies. This suggestion is offered in the belief that knowledge of the local natural features helps towards an understanding of the wider content of a subject such as meteorology.
One other point is that kite making and flying may become a corporate venture, expressed in the aims and activities of a club. As such it provides opportunities for participation in discussions, planning and organization, which may develop the sometimes unsuspected abilities of the individual member.
It is to be hoped that this chapter, in some measure, has served to show that kites have a definite, though not too obtrusive, educational aspect. This being so, their possibilities in the realm of instruction deserve to be explored to the fullest extent both for the pleasure and the profit they may bring.
