THE MAORI'S PLACE.
Nature, says Dr Te Rangihiroa, Assistant Native Health Officer, did not intend the Maori to herd in cities, to shut out fresh air and sunlight and evolve sanitary problems. His place is on the land, both from the commercial and the equally or more important health point of view. The danger of phthisid among the Maori is more serious between the ages of fifteen and twenty-five, just when he is turning his back upon the farm and seeking the employment of the towns. Of the twenty-two cases recorded last year the age incidence was as follows: —Age I—s,1 —5, 1 case; 5 —15, 1 case; 15 —'25, 10 cases; 25 —35, 6 cases; 35—45, 2 cases; over 45, 2 cases.
