DOMESTIC HELP.
HOW TO .SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I JCER TRESS ASSOCIATION.J AUCKLAND, May 26. Mr. T. Sedgwick, who lias played a prominent part in the question of importing English' boy labor, suggested at the conference of the A. and P. Association that an easy solution of the domestic servant problem would' be to import large parties of girls front Home and apprentice them to New' Zealand mistresses. Hundreds of good igirls would be willing to come under such conditions. In the orphanages and poor law schools there were 40,000 girls, well trained and well behaved, who would be glad to accept apprenticeship if brought out to this country. This could be done through the New Zealand Labor' Department and the High Commissioner’s office, and a shipment brought out. preferably on a cargo boat, fitted with dormitories, where the girls would be under supervision, and compelled to attend largely to their own requirements.
