New Zealanders are supposed to be given to holiday-making, but apparently we have still something to learn from Russia. Mr. Arthur Ransome writes to the Manchester Guardian : “In Russian offices nothing is done on the day of a holiday. That goes without saying. But naturally it is impossible to do anything on the day before a holiday, when all minds are darting forward to the morrow, and he would be a most unusual Russian who would be ‘so inhuman as to expect anyone to do anything on the day after. Considered in this way, even a day’s holiday becomes something really worth having.”
