A CRITIC CRITICISED.
" FLACCIDITY OF AUSTRALIANS." REPLIES TO MR. FOSTER FRASER. | VIEWS OF EDUCATION \: r- ; AUTHORITIES. , By Telegraph-Pross Association-Copyright Melbourne, March 28. Tho Premier (the Hon. J. Murray) considors thai' Mr/, Foster .Eraser's comments about the-flacoidity of 'Australians arc simply nonsense. On' the. average, he says, an Australian workman will do as much :in eight .honrß as a British workman will do in nine or ten. ■ ■' The Rev. E. H. Sugden.M.A.,. master of Queen's College, has no patience with a peripatetic journalist,like Mr. Foster ; Fraser, who spends a few weeks here, and from the pinnacle of his superior detachment, presumes to criticise. Mr. '.Fraser's libels on the .Australian youth are, ..says Mr. Sugden,, unjustifiable. When a; man maJies, the statement that Sydney stands for pleasure, Melbourne .'for business, and Adelaide for .'.culture, he makes a ridiculous statement which' has to recommend :. it: except, its • epigrammatic form; Mr. Fraser shows. superficiality, and should not: be taken seriously. l ■ Dr. Lepper, Warden of Trinity College, thinks there is somothing in Mr. Fraser's'strictures. -An ambitious'student at Melbourne University does not work-'; as hard as his brother in 'the Home universities. • '■" Australian Students seem lacking in the.spirit.of enthusiasm for national affairs. ■'■.
