TOWN V. COUNTRY.
11l European countries the rush to the towns is a striking feature of modern industrial life, and in these newer lands, it is not unknown. Where it assumes undue proportions, whether in the old world oi» the new, the result is nationally unsatisfactory, and destructive of the well-being, of many individuals. Even in New Zealand there can be but little doubt that many of the people now living (or existing) in the towns would be immensely better off if they found employment in the rural districts, while the . State would likewise bo a gainer; Here, as in older countries, there is need to promote rural industry and attract people to it, and in this connection New Zcalong might profit by \ the periences of others who have been confronted with the question of a more pressing form than we as yet know it.—“Eltham Argus.”
