San Francisco was the scene of a New Zealand dinner recently when a score of Maori-landers were the guests of an ex-South Island man. Everything on the sumptuous menu came from New Zealand. Alter the least a big canister of New Zealand tobacco made its welcome appearance. This' was “Cavendish Mixture,” a blelul specially favoured iby connoisseurs. The guests were delighted with their entertainment, and the baccy was pronounced A. 1., astonishment being expressed that the Dominion could produce such tobacco. A marked feature, by the way, of our New Zealand brands is their comparative' freedom from nicotine, in which respect they are totally different from the American tobaccos, most of them rich in nicotine. Hence it is that the New Zealand goods can me smoked freely without fear of consequences. There are several brands, those most in request being “Cavendish Mixture” (medium), “Kiverhead Gold” (mild), “Navy Cut” (medium, a blend of choice leaf), and “Cut Plug No. 10” (a rich dark tobacco of full-flavour). You can get them at any tobacconist. —Advt.

Education, in the proper .sou.se of the word, is no training, it is the development of the mind. No one would deny that some amount of training is justifiable in an education system, but Mr Atmore apparently thinks it should almost entirely supplant education proper. We may have misinterpreted the Minister, and perhaps it is unfair to base too much on utterances that are patently hasty and unreflecting, but the question is such a vital one that the country is entitled to know immediately and in detail just what changes are proposed. One could feel more at ease if one could think that Mr Attnore’s caution was in proportion to his lack of understanding, hut his statements give little ground for supposing that this is so. The other night lie modestly informed a Christchurch audience that he “did not pose as an educational expert,” but he went on to explain that this would not hinder him from being “master of the policy of' his own Department.” His function was, he explained, to interpret “thfe will of the people” to the officials 'of the Education Department and see that they carried it out. This is an ingenious refinement of democratic theory, but if Mt. Atmore thinks that he can claim a mandate from the people for muddled thinking he is mistaken. —Christchurch “Press.”
