LORD BURNHAM ON FLOCK HOUSE.

Speaking at the dinner given in London to the Empire Press delegates by Sir James Allen, Lord Burnham made some very happy references to Block House, and is reported in the London Daily Telegraph of Bth February as saying: ‘‘There was one exEeriment in migration of which he ad a glimpse in New Zealand which spoke volumes for the self-sacrifice and patriotism of the country. ’ The wool producers resolved immediately after the Great War to establish a farm school lor the orphans of the Bailors who had given their lives for the honour and safety of the Empire during the war years. Most of them know about it. It was called T lock House. Ho went there on the way to Wellington with some of their party, and he asked them to bear witness how admirable they thought was the training and treatment of the boys there for farm life in the Dominion. It was a homo in the true sense of the word, looked after by men of public spirit and experience, who could assure that after-care of those boys when they went out into employment which he held to be as neoessary to their welfare as the pre.jparntioii itself.”
