OUR EMIGRANTS.
32,000 IN NEW SOUTH WALES. An Association of New Zealanders has been formed in Sydney. The object of the organisation is to afford natives of the Dominion living in New South Wales opportunity of keeping in touch with one another. Last week Sir Truby King and his daughter (“Mollie Howden”) were guests of the association at luncheon in the Arts Club. Dr. Purdy, president of the new association, said there were 32,000 New Zealanders in New South Wales. It was all to the advantage of Australia to have many immigrants from New Zealand. For the last quarter-cen-tury New Zealand not only had the lowest death rate of any country in the world, but also a phenomenally low infant mortality, mainly due to the work and teaching of Sir Truby King. Sir Truby King, who was enthusiastically received, recalled that Sir Frederick Chapman had once stated that New Zealand was admirably situated for being the nursery of the British race in the Pacific. He looked forward fo the time when not only New Zealand, 'but Australia, would have the lowest death rates of any countries in the world.
