The educational system is largely an
imitation OF that in the United States
being free, secular and compulsory.
Children are enrolled at 5 years and il
physical examination shows them able
to attend the primaries, they must go.
At IA and Is they are eligible for the
high school. Teachers colleges exist
for those who desire to qualify as in
structors, all free. In connection with
the free schools is a staff of physicians
and dentists who give studious atten-
ton to the physical conditions Of the
children. None lie permitted to attend
school when ill or debilitated. In
sparsely settled neighborhoods, the
State provides a teacher wherever five
families can be assembled.
Much could be said about the inno-
vations in political affairs. The Do
minion has its Upper and Lower
Houses of Parliament. All citizens,
women and men alike, are entitled to
vote at Parliamentary elections and on
the question of liquor license, which is
treated as q local option.
Taken altogether, New Zealand is
not only the healthiest country in the
world, but is the wealthiest, pro-rata to
population. Most notable is the loyalty
of the people to the Empire. That is
a complete story in itself.
Does anybody outside 3 retreat for in
curabtes longer pirate about 1.-THE good
old times?" I think not. Our forbears
lived without sugar until the Thirteen
tn Century, without coal until the
Fourteenth, without butter on their
bread until the Fifteenth. without po-
tatoes and tobacco until the Sixteenth,
without tea, coffee and soap until the
Seventeenth, without lamps, umbrellas,
and buildings until the Eighteenth and
without steamships, railway trains,
teIegrsphs, flying machines, telephones,
gas, matches, and a~nesthetics till the
Nineteenth Century. The start made
in this century in wireless telephoney
and biography, not to mention the art
of killing and mutilating men in war,
Is amazing. The novels Of Charles
Dickens, in which people travelled by
s~tagecoaches, are as archaic today as
the stories of ancient Rome.

Provisions for the payment of old-age
pensions were early introduced and the
system works with entire satisfaction.
Residents In the Dominion for more
than ten years who attain the age of go
years, women as we'll as Imen, are en-
titled to a weekly pension sufficient to
support them moderately. Claims for
such aid are not generally made by
those with means; but acceptance State
help is moi regarded as charity and en-
tails no reproach. 1t is looked upon as
a reward for having assisted in the de-
velopment OF the country!
Especially to be commended are the
efforts to reclaim convicts serving long
sentences. Those that evince DISPOSE
tons to be tractable are sent to camp,
where they are given active employ
ment in bodybuilding, tree-planting
and in laying out model villages that
they are encouraged to feel will be theirs
to occupy after a certain fixed period Of
good behavior.
These laborers are paid a small wage
for their work, which they are encour-
aged to v Records of such expert
ments are highly satisfactory; many
excellent citizens have been added TO
the country. The plan of so-called
s'Farmers' Loans" recently introduced
into the United States, has been en-
ployed in the Dominion for many years
especially keeping down interest rates
and literally driving out landsharks.
