THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES.
REST HOMES. The Bill introduced by the Government for the provision of rest homes tor the indigent aged—a measure that is in the humanitarian. tradition of Ijilneralism—lias been received with thankfulness by those in the best position to judge the need for it. Magistrates and social workers welcome such institutions as providing a home* for classes that have long been a problem, persons who are too senile or too irresponsible to look, after themselves,but are not really proper subjects for gaol or mental hospital. The cost of these new homes will be considerable, but against this,must be set the easing of the burden now, carried by other institutions. The .chief difficulties in operating the scheme will be in overlapping and classification.. —Auckland Star,*-'
