“Camps” Worth Having.
Dear Sir, —“ Lincoln ” has a keen criticism on camps in your Saturday issue. It is a thousand pities we cannot all turn our eyes towards permanent camps, like the beauty at Lincoln College. How its lovely avenue* and flower beds make one’s mouth water for the 44 new agriculture ” that could establish picturesque hamlets, artistically planned, in the centre of wide, stretching field?, permanent homes for thousands of willing workers. Not, of course, more agricultural colleges, but real group farms, commercially run, intensely farmed, industrialised, employing much labour, the real thin end of the wedge of the solution of the unemployment muddle. Most of the work at the college is done by students. At Paparua Prison Farm the complete solution of our troubles is apparent. Free labour can do better. —I am, etc., F. J. ALLEY.
