Tile benevolence of the Christchurch public was defended by the president of the Canterbury Society of Arts, Mr. E. C. Huie (stales thp “Press ). “One sometimes hears invidious comparisons made regarding the public spirit displayed by the people of Canterbury as compared with the citizens of other cities of the Dominion,” he declared, “but Ido not think any sucu disparaging references are quite cal.ed for. Otago may bo noted for its bequests and gifts to educational institutions, and Auckland for its parks, presented by wealthy citizens, but when it came to raising money for patriotic and Bed Cross funds. Canterbury made as good a showing as any other part of New Zealand, and I think the real need!* of our local institutions only need to be' brought under the notice of those in a position to make gifts and bequests, and there will be no cause to complain at the result.”-
