ADVICE TO YOUTH
Youths leaving college were urged by Mr Gr. Mitchell, chairman of the Wellington College’s Board of Governors, to seek positions in the country rather than in the cities. There was nothing that would do more good to the community than taking more ir*«n the land than had been taken before, he said. To-day ample food was seen side by side with unemployment and Starvation. This- was a record of which nobody could be proud, ana re appeared that the older generation had failed in its management of the world’s affairs. The duty which lay ahead of the youth of to-day was to attempt a mode satisfactory distribution of things, and to ensure that as far as possible the misery and suffering of to-day were eliminated. During the past five years, Mr Mitchell adder!, only 14 per cent, of an increased population of £7,000 had taken up country positions.
