LIFE IN AUSTRALIA.
PEOPLE FULL OF CHARACTER. FAMILY INSTINCT PENALISED. By Telegraph.—Pres» Assn.—Copyright. Received Feb. 11, 10.5 p.m. London, Feb. 11. The Rev. S. F. Collier, interviewed by' the Daily News, gave his impressions of .Australian life after attending the Methodist Centenary. He said the men anA women were of a fine type, full of nope, self-reliant, full of character, initiative and ]>ush. The politics of the country struck' him as being somewhat degenerate, and the . country seemed in need of statesmen who were looking for the good of the next generation, rather than keeping their eyes on the next election. In the whirl of city life fresh from the country districts lacked restraint and discipline. He adds: “Home and family life, as we know them, are little developed in Australia. This, and the fact that family instinct seems to be penalised, keeps the Continent too dependent on immigration.”—Aus. and N.Z. Cable Awn.
