LONDON, Sept. 23. Mr. Haldane, at Lady bank, said that the matter of old ago pensions was only a part of a much larger problem of poor law reform that was confronting the Government. The different authorities ought to deal with children with a proventible disease among tlio poor and with the criminal element which required to be segregated, because they -dragged down others. Those who sought the •poorhouse through no fault of their own ought to bo dealt with tenderly and kindly. There was great room for economy and improved efficiency, and all this machinery needed overhauling. The education, land, and licensing questions, besides a multitude of other problems, were clustering round, and those subjects required attention before the community could be in a healthy condition.
