"BRIGHT NEW ZEALAND."
—— 10811 n\X. ADEXKY'S IMFRESSIOXS. London, April 3. In his letters to the Christian World, Dr. W. F. Adcney, late principal of the Lancashire Independent College, sings the praises of Xew Zealand from the social point of view. "This is rightly called Brighter Britain," be writes. "Better than the brightness of the climate is the brightness of the people. We have never come across any indication of poverty, never seen it ragged garment or a slum district. There is practically no unemployment and no want. Everybody has at least enough to eat, and most enjoy many comforts and luxuries. That hideous palace of misery, the workhouse, is unknown." But Or. Adi y would not have his readers believe that there arc no -.oeiai problems in Xew Zealand. "If poverty is the dead weight cm the national life of Kngland in spite of amazing commercia.l advances, prosperity is the threai|eiiin» temptation in Xew Zealand. It (.seems to be the ambition of everybody jto ride about in a molor-car. farmers ■ from the hack countrv motor :tll. -lit or land rmh back e'.rln in Ihe night. I inii-1 say thai I ,lo vol see the same , eugenic-- ill the pursuit of higher aims."
