“Australian schoolboys are not real ‘Aussie®’ unless they have at their command an extensive vocabulary of slang; words and expressions,” n=add a member of the Christ ion Brothers' School staff to a. “Dunedin Star” reoorter last week. This brother, who was born and educated, in New South Wales, came from Sydney 16 months ago, and during the short time he has been in New Zealand he has received many extremely favourable impressions of the country and of its schoolboys. For one thing, he considers that Hie English .spoken by the local boys, is well-night perfect, and by their speech and actions generally tire, boys seem to me much tamer than the youngsters on the other side of the Tasman. Further, the modern appointments in New Zealand schools, such as huge ‘glass windows- and web-ventilated class-rooms, are a revelation to him. “And why go out of New Zealand to see good scenery?” continued he. “T have visited the Southern Lalq?s district, and T have never been so greatly impressed hv any scenery I have seen. Altogpthei t mu honestly say that I love New Zealand.”
