TRIP TO THE ISLANDS.
NEWS OP PARLIAMENTARY PARTY. j • LOVELY ISLAND TOUCHED. By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. A wireless message, received at 10.30 p.m., from Rarotcnga, says: The conditions of life and the needs of Mangala, where the Parliamentary party spent Wednesday, are typical in many respects of the other Islands in the Cook Group. No vessel has touched Mangaia since the Govenior-IJeneral's visit, and the half a dozen Europeans and the native population were surprised and delighted at the visit. The party had a novel experience in crossing « reef in outrigger canoes, skilfully handled by natives. Speaking at the State school, attended by two hundred children, Sir James Allen said he hoped to arrange an interchange of teachers between New Zealand and the native schools. The Island Counc.il suggested the provision of an inter-Island State steamer for carrying outlying produce to connect with New Zealand steamers. This suggestion has already been prominently before the party.
