The Maori are really not the aborig-
inals of the country, nor are they OF
the same stock as the natives of Aus
tralia, who are of strikingly Differ
ent type of man, and so much lower
in brain and talent as to be out OF
comparison with them. Indeed, the
Bushmen of Australia. If not the low
est grade of humanity, are but
single rung from the bottom, the de-
cision lying between them and the
Hottentot, their young wandering
about naked, and being taken no more
account of than monkeys. New Zea-
land, moreover. never was part or
Australia. 1t has none of Its trees
flowers, animals, birds or reptiles,
which are as totally dissimilar as its
natives.
Discovered BY Priest
The folklore of the people says New
Zealand was discovered by TIE Kupe,
a priest who lived on an island called
Hawaiki This priest incurred the
displeasure of the ruling chief OF
Hawaiki and was compelled to flee his
island home to save his life.
Securing a canoe and stocking 1t
with provisions, he put to sea, as ne
supposed to see home and friends no
more, and possibly to find his grave IN
the mighty ocean. But kind provi-
dence favored the lone boatman and
over the peaceful ocean he padded
his way. His was long journey.

TIMES HAVE CHANGED

In grandfather's day the
American family stayed
pretty much in one place.
1t grew up on the old farm.
or lived in the comfortable
farm house. The children
went not more than a mile
to school. and going away
to college was exceptional.
Travel had not become
general.
But the world has been ex-
tended. Today the typical
American family is scattered
much of the time. Father
hurries back and forth be-
tween cities on business.
Mother has her own interests.
and goes to meetings. con-
ventions. on visits and jaunts.
These modem conditions
are all good. They mean a
broader life and better OPP
portunities. But they also
bring a certain element Of
anxiety and loneliness. due
to separation. Trains are
delayed. epidemics break out
in schools. rumors and alarms
come flying from many d.
rections. very often ground
less. yet causing worry and
fear.
The first resource in such
emergencies should be the
long distance telephone.
The family with the best
realization of the telephone
possibilities enjoys the great
est peace Of mind.
