PACIFIC DEPENDENCIES.
EUROPEAN ENCROACHMENT.
The problem to be faced in the Pacific dependencies was the subject of an address by Miss M. F. Morris before tho Auckland Historical Society last night. The president, the Rev. A. B. Cliappell, presided. Miss Morris said the first essential was an understanding of the native ! psychology. Touching upon the gains ' and losses to the natives through the • encroachment of Europeans, the speaker i said the breakdown of the native social system was to be regretted. Trade and industry hrJ progressed, and an inestimable boon had been the provision of doctors and hospitals. Native and Euro- ' pean school teachers had also done line work, but as against that the rapid assimilation of a foreign culture had not been exclusively beneficial.
