SAMOAN TRIP
AN INTERESTING SPOT. The Press Association has received a wireless message from Rarotonga; The conditions of life and the needs of Mangaia, where the Parliamentary party spent Wednesday, are typical in many respects of other islands in the. Cook Group. No vessel had touched at Mangaia since the Governor-Gener-al's visit. Half a dozen Europeans and the native population were surprised and delighted at the visit. The party’ had the novel experience of crossing a reef in outrigger canoes, skilfully handled by natives. Speaking at tho State school, which is attended by 200 children. Sir James Allen said he hoped to arrange an interchange of teachers between Now Zealand and the native* schools, Tho Island Council suggested tho provision of an intor-lsland State stcamor carrying outlying produce to connect with the New Zealand steamers. This suggestion is already prominently before the party.
