Sell-help mi tin-- pari of :i oommtinily, instead ol' constantly Koinji t-ap in hand to the Government, has been happily and very usefully expressed by tic.- of Roseville, a picturos(|iie suburb on the North Shore of Sydney, and the example may perhaps be emulated in New Zealand. Already tliev have considerably improved their local railway rooms, furnished them with linoleum, easy chairs, and tables, together with other comforts. Mich as mat' and mirrors. Victures of views in the district will also be displayed. The officers ol the Hail way Department are co-operatinp: with the residents. The idea is to make waiting for trains as comfortable as possible. The residents are also orectin" a shelter shed at the railway stops, to protect both the ticket collectors and the passengers against wet weather. If the Railway Commissioners do not pronounce a benediction on these fpied works, if only in the hone that othet? will do likewise, it will look something like base iiif£ruticudc. This manifestation of self-help is only one of many similar nets hv the Roseville people. Thev are their own little government.
