WOMEN'S MISSION.

J JAPAI'ESE LEADER'S VIEWS. TOKYO. "Women's mission in this world is motherhood. They should cultivate womanly virtues, modesty and strength of character rather than waste time painting their faces, curling their hair and chasing after autographs.*' So declared General Sadao Araki, Minister of Kducation, in discussing the enforcement of emergency educational policies at a conference of prefectural governors. "All girl* are potential mothers. They should be made to realise their mission in the world, in society and in their homes. Women have the sort of love which men can never hope to posses*. This motherly love ought to lie made to permeate the race, it is something big."' the general declared. The good mother, the famed Japanese leader said, is willing to sacrifice herself for her child and she takes joy in such sacrifice. "Western instances show that when civilisation progresses people turn to pleasures as the sole purpose in life. Womenly virtues are lost. Motherhood is forgotten. Women begin to compete with men for jobs,*' the army leader , said.

next meeting ami num. j.-> . inrr of your members, and as soon as we receive a reply from Mr. Kroadfoot we will communicate with you. The King Country towns, when compared with those with a license, are very backward and heavily handicapped and. with tlie increased white population in the King Country, the matter should receive every consideration from the Government." Mr. W. Forbes said it was a very old question and he could see no reason why there should be no liquor license in the town as it would do away with a lot of the sly-prop trade. He considered the chamber should support the Otorohanga Chamber ill this matter. Mr. W. J. Domett said it was a farreaching question, and should not be approached from a monetary point of view. Mr. G. A. Stanton remarked that there were political, social and ethical sides of the question, b'lt agreed that they should support the Otorohanga Chamber. The president. Mr. M. H. Wilks. said there was a general feeling that the liquor laws of the Dominion were "rotten"' and he moved that the chamber support the Otorohanga Chamber in an endeavour to bring about a revision of the liquor laws.
