MOUNT COOK HERMITAGE
To the Editor “N.Z. Times,
Si r —For some time past a managei and housekeeper for the above have been advertised for. I believe there have been several applications by some very suitable persons; I know of one coupje who had a thorough knowledge of the requirements and are of the highest character, ■md have been for many nears in New Zealand. Two of their sons have been wounded at the front. Yet it is ram alleged that the powers that be. m their wisdom, have appointed a German and his wife ■as housekeeper and manager. If this is true, surely ,iu New Zealand Britishers could be found for such a position. X once heard a Scottish clergyman praying, “lord, teach our senators wisdom." There are many Germans in the Government service, and I don’t think it is wise to add to the number, so 1 add ray sentiments to the good old elergvman above quoted and—l am, etc.’, NOT A HUN.
