NEXT HUNDRED YEARS. “We are very shortly reaching the hundredth birthday of this country, and while we appreciate what the pioneers have done we must recognise that it. is the next hundred years that is going to count,” said Mr T. T. Murray, at the Taranaki Pro vincial Scottish Society’s ‘‘Burn’s night” function last, evening. “The pioneers’ problems were simple in comparison with those of to day. We must pause and consider whether the lin s on which we are developing will make this country good and great,” Mr Murray added.
