Who Are the Thinkers?
Dear Sir,—The other day in Wellington Professor Shelley complained before the Society of Civil Engineers that New Zealanders were pot-bound. He said. ** One cannot get rich experience by meeting half-a-dozen people.” But what about Byrd, who said after his lonely winter vigil that he had been greatly enriched. Of course one can go abroad and pick up new ideas, but a lot of people who come back have only borrowed their new ideas, half-baked, from other people’s brains It seems to me it is the men who stay quietly at home who do the real thinking, or the best thinking, for the country.—l am. etc.. A STILL STONE.
