Some knotty problems have been set students and school children, but tlie one mentioned in a special announcement in to-day’s “New Zealand Times” is worth reading. It is as follows: —“If a man receives £6 a week wages, lias three children, and pnys £2 10s a week rent for a small house—not forgetting the three children are compelled to sleep in one bedroom owing to shortage of bedrooms —how much does 110 save a year; and further, how long will it take him to save up enough money to have a holiday?” When one mail was asked for his opinion he hurriedly replied “a thousand years.” It is a fact, however, that if every married man lived in his own home the country would ho better financially, every man would have a stake in the country, and a more contented and j happy people would be the result.— Advt.
