“One of the tasks of psychology is to find out the limits of our various mental capabilities. One person is fitted to take a University course, and another is not. and that is the cud of it. It is nut a question ot worth, and there is no disparagement,” stated Professor Shelley at Christchurch, “It is not. wise to train for the medical profession, for example, » person lacking in certain capacities which are very essential at a critical moment. 1 for one, as a patient, would object to it. To think that all a person needs to entitle him to take a medical course is a sufficient quantity of money is to he entirely mistaken.”

There was a strong southerly wind blowing at the time and the reflection lit up the wholp of that part of the town. The Fire Brigade were soon on the scene, and with a good force of water scon had the outbreak under control, hut not heloi'O the whoV building had been gutted. The building was of three rooms, and had been use during the day ae usual and the whole of the day's washing was in the course of being dried. This was all destroyed, so that the lory is a hoav> one. The building was insured for £]2s in the State Office but its value greatly exceeded that sum. The Alatron considers the loss in blankets, clothing and nurses’ uniforms to he about £2O. but this is a very conscrva. t ; ve estimate. Arrangements have been made for a building in the neighbourhood as a temporary laundry.
