Notes and Events.

Whatever decision the Conference on Charitable Aid may come to the ! Inspector of Hospitals has arrived at a decided opinion. In his report to ! Parliament he says " Outdoor relief is as catching as small-pox, and just as deadly We are so ■ given over to weak sentinaentalism \ in New Zealand in all that relates to ; the problem of poverty that probably ' we shall hava to be taught by hard , experience before any Government i can be expected to grasp this nettle. ! All over New Zealand i the State sub idy for indiscriminate j outdoor relief is the most effective ! system that could be devised for the J systematic cultivation of social para- j sites. We carefully hatch them out, and lay them down in the alimentary tracts of society, and we call the : insane proceeding philanthropy." The President of the National American Congress of Charities in his address last year says : " Outdoor relief does not improve the conditions of the pauper ; it does not build up hiß character ; it neither prevents nor cures pauperism. . . The new philanthropy is slowly winning its way. It is cutting off the entail of hereditary pauperism and crime and insanity and idiocy in a very large degree by keeping defectives in institutions which resemble heaven in at lea^t one particular, because there is neither marrying nor giving in marriage in them."

The Registrar of tha Peoples' Claims Act states that 6,584 claims for old-age pension 1 * have been admitted, of whom 3.932 were men and 1,652 were women ; 975 have been rejected ; 875 paatponed ; and 676 unadjusted.
