ONEHUNGA BUSINESS MEN.
LAND SETTLEMENT SCHEME. The Onehunga-Manukau Chamber of Commerce met lust evening, the president, Mr. J. E. Green, presiding. " The case for smaller classes" was presented in a communication from the New Zealand Educational Institute, which pointed out that there were 769 classes with over 50 names on the roll, making it impossible to give them the stimulus of personal encouragement, and yet there were 600 to 700 unemployed young teachers. .The Unemployment Board wrote promising to consider a scheme of land settlement adopted by the council of the chamber. It provides for the establishment of military camps for suitable single men, who would bring selected blocks of land under cultivation. Subsequently, this land would be cut into smaller areas and given to these men by ballot, under lease with right of renewal. Copies have been sent to other chambers, and several supporting replies were received, commending the scheme as superior to the unproductive work so often done by the unemployed.
