LIFE’S WORK.
Field Offering in New Zealand. Per Press Association AUCKLAND, April 16. “Except for writers, artists and scientific men, Europe does not offer any more advantages than New Zealand,” said Mr Hector Bolitho, the New Zealand author, in addressing pupils of the Seddon Technical College. Fie quoted Mussolini, whom he once interviewed, as saying: “The fault with European civilisation is that we worship the past at the expense of the future.” Mr Bolitho advised his hearers to look forward to a life of quiet contentment, rather than fame and said that the girls would be well advised to take up cooking rather than writing. New Zealand was blessed beyond any other country and there should be none happier in the world. “Your future lies in New Zealand, where you can bring dignity and honour to whatever walk of life you take up,” he added.
