A VETERAN CHARITABLE AID ADMINISTRATOR.
HIS VIEWS ON THE INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS. CRITICISM OF THE OLD AGE PENSIONS SCHEME. [BY TELEGBAPH— PBESS ASSOCIATION.] r - Dunedin. This Day. Mr, Robin, who has been Chairman of the Charitable Aid Board since 1885, in his valedictory address" strongly urged the establishment of industrial schools separate from reformatories, and the providing of training ships. In conclusion, Mr. Robin said—" If some of the money now proposed to be spent on old age pensions were 4evoted to the care of neglected youths I feel sure there would be little need of the measure now before the House. View that measure in the most favourable light, and the fact still remains that it is after all merely an extension of the Charitable Aid Act. It* is, moreover, a measure which in its present form will tend to destroy the main incentive to industry and thrift, and sap the foundations of selfdependence."
