"WASTERS."
TOO LIBERALLY TREATED. It is evident that Dr Valintine, In-spector-General of Hospitals, looks with an unsympathetic eye upon the man and woman classed as th« undesirable citizen. " There is no doubt at all that the path of the wastrel is made far too easy," he said amid applause at the Hospital Conference at Wellington yesterday. "[ do not think," he added, "that wo should allow any mawkish sentimentality to prevent us from doing our duty in dealing with these outcasts and parasites. Wo have no hesitation in conflning the leper in one place for life, and] neither should we hesitate to place restraint upon the social out cast, the intemperate anrl those tainted with infectious disease, and wbv should not we compel them while in confinement to work for the maintenance of their wives and children?"
