HIGH STANDARD OF EDUCATION.
CANADIAN VISITOR'S PRAISE "Though there, is less evidence of money being spent on education in New Zealand than in Canada working people show a much higher standard'of education," said Major A. E. Snyder;-'of Vancouver, who is touring the Dominion, to a reporter of "The Press" last evening. This was shown, he said, by the intelligent conversatibrrand grammatical speech of working men to whom he had spoken. Education had been rather an extravagance in Canada, but there was less to show for it than ,in New, Zealand. Major. Snyder said that he could only express the highest appreciation of the sceftic attractions of the Dominion. Canada had roads passing through fine sceriei-y, but not to the same extent as New Zealand. The facilities for tourists in the-Do-minion were excellent, considering the size of the population, and there would probably be many more Canadian visitors if they heard more about New Zealand. He was of the opinion, however, that there was more news about New Zealand in the Canadian papers than about Canada in New Zealand papers.
