FLOCK HOUSE
New Zealand Sets Pattern For Empire TRADELESS BOYS ABSORBED "Flock House is hardly known in this country. The example of New Zealand is superb,” writes James Douglas in the “Sunday Express.” “There should be Flock Houses all over the Empire, financed by our war profiteers. The stout New Zealand farpiers are men of mettle, with pride and gratitude in their blood. "I hold up little New Zealand as a pattern to ourselves, and to all our Dominions and dependencies. I have seen the boys going out to Flock House from the Polytechnic, with no great ones to see them off, or to blow trumpets for the plain New Zealand farmers who have paid their debt to the Navy and the merchant service without whimpering for a halo of publicity. “Let us stir our stumps without ‘passing the truck’ to our worried party politicians, with their weary eyes nailed to the ground. We are not a nation of quitters. “We have a big heart as well as big reserves of brain and credit. Let us show the world how Britain can beat its unemployment enemy.
“If tiny New Zealand can give a thanksoffering of a million to save our tradeless boys, every rich city and town in this country can go and do likewise. Come on, big business! Come on. you merchant princes!”
