TRAINING IMMIGRANTS.
A suggestion has been made, which appears to have met with the conditional approval of New Zealand's High Commissioner, that training farms for intending emigrants, should be established in the Old country.. As there are only two classes of immigrants that this 3>ominion can conveniently accommodate, viz., farm labourers and domestic servants, the training farm proposal seems to us to be impracticable aind inadvisable. A little training for domestic servants may be a good thing; but as most of the servants soon become mistresses, or drift into otlnr callings, the time and money expended upon them could be batter employed. As for the farm labourers, the conditions of farming in the Motherland are" so dissimilar from those in New Zealand, that training farms would be worse than useless. If the Dominion intends importing farm labourers, it cannot do bett?r than extend the system of Mr Sedgwick.
