WELFARE OF THE YOUNG.
AUCKLAND, May 9. A meeting, presided over by Mr Cutten, S.M., established a Young Citizens' League. Mr Cutten said the object was to promote the general welfare of young people over the school age. Many young people did not get a fair chance in life, and a great wastage resulted. The community lost not only the benefit of good citizenship, but its welfare was endangered. Members of the league would be young people, but it was suggested that adult honorary' membership should also be provided for. The religious policy of the league would be non-sectarian on the basis of true religious feeling and reverence for God. Mr Cutten was elected the first president of the newly-formed body.'
