SERVANT PROBLEM.

WANGANUI, January 28.

In connection with the domestic service problem now prominently before the public, the Chronicle reports on good authority that arrangements are now on the point of completion as the result of which a New Zealand lady now resident in England, and in whom employers may have implicit confidence, will act in conjunction with the management at this end in selecting suitable girls for employment. Every applicant for appointment will be personally interviewed, and every possible precaution taken to ensure that only girls of a lu'gh standard of respectability and efficiency are sent out. The Chronicle adds that it is intended to, place the Government in possession of full information on the subject, it being felt that as the domestic help problem has now been brought officially under the notice of a Minister of the Crown, it is only reasonable that Cabinet should be formally assured of the bona fides of the scheme, which private enterprise has devised for the solution of that problem.
