AS OTHERS SEE US.
To See ourselves as others see us., though, not always flattering to one's vanity, is at least interesting; and in tbiiS' connection some remarks made by a new arrival frami Fngland in .conversation with a Wianganiii Herald representative recently, are worth recording. The average ooloniiiaT youth both in Australia and New Zealand, he said, was, on. the whole, "a good fellow"; but not to br- compared, as an employee, with the Home product, who was more painstaking and thorough,. The colonial ulas ambitious, but lazy; he wanted to rise Without working for that end. ''You surround yourselves with a w-all of self-(satisfaction; you will not wsiten, to adviice, and until yjou, can be brought to understand' that Australasia and Australians do not constitute the one and only hub of the universe, some of tine finest manhood of the Empire is being praotioally wasted,," eonclur ded the candid critic.
