"PLAYED OUT."
COLONIALS AND "HOME." A LADY'S COMMENTS. By Cable—Press Association-^Copyright. Received June 27, 12.20 a.m. London, June 25. Miss Talbot, secretary of the Victoria League, contributes to the Times a statement that in colonial towns, possibly through lack of intercourse, there was a tendency among the younger people of Australia, New Zealand and Canada, to regard the Mother Country as "played out." Those visiting England should know something of British home life audi industrial work. The wealthy classes of the colonies are slower to realise their public responsibilities than in England.
She complains of the want of pliability in Home manufacturers compared to their foreign competitors, and refers to the tendency of prosperous colonials to bring up their children in a ceaseless round of pleasure and enjoyment, disregarding the spiritual side of things, and neglecting to teach discipline and self-sacrifice.
