TRUE TO TYPE.
True to type i.' the following extract from the Maori land Worker: — “The Worker is in receipt of a communication headed ‘St. James’ I : aiace, S.WV and adorned with three oat rich feathers and signed ‘Edward J\, ’in which E.P. requests Iho assistance of this paper to build up the Boy Scout movement.. Edward P. concludes Ids message bj ashing: HVd’ vou help it die Ik-;/ Sso: Is) to double its numbers t.lnr-sd: year?

clinations are to oblige any ‘P.,’ ‘bloke,’ or ‘finger,’ but there are limits Edward P. and your recruest is on the verge of the dizzy.” Yet the Maoriland Worker pathetically asks its readers, “What’s wrong with our movement?” A silly question. How could any movement survive in such an atmosphere. of gross coarseness and indecent vulgarity.
