GARDEN CITY FOR MENTALLY AFFLICTED
COSTLY BRITISH SCHEME By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright LONDON, Saturday. While scientists propose to segregate and thus eliminate the mentally .unfit, the Middlesex County Council has set out to give 4,000 mentally-af-flicted men a very comfortable home in an estate of 1,200 acres which it has purchased for £BO,OOO at Porter’s Park, including an old country house. The scheme, which will cost £2,000,000, provides for a staff of 1,000. The whole is planned on the lines of a garden city. The council pays golfers the doubtful compliment of including an 18-hole golf course, as well as a cinema, a church and a gymnasium, and also what seems to argue a considerable optimistic faith in human nature, a well-equipped chemical laboratory.— A. and N.Z.
