“ADVERTISE MORE.”

NEW ZEALAND’S DUTY. HONOLULU VISITOR’S ADVICE. "You really should advertise your really wonderful soenic beauties,” said a member of the party of teachers from Honolulu when speaking to a Taranaki Herald reporter before leaving for Waitomo. “Your 'country’s scenic beauties are marvellous, and I am sure if you advertised them more you would get many more visitors from overseas. We had been told that we were coming to a pretty country but at no time did we expect anything so wonderful. “Your most beautiful scenery is, without doubt, in Arthur’s Pass, and Pukekura Park at New Plymouth. Whakarewarewa and Rotorua are also very wonderful, although they can scarcely be described as scenery,” she continued. “We had never seen geysers before and those at Whakarewarewa held us spell-bound. I really cannot understand why you do not advertise more."

New Zealand Dairy Produce.

The interviewer remarked that New Zealand dairy produce was well ad-' vertised. “Oh, yes," she said. "We get your butter and cheese In Honolulu and we think it is excellent. It is far ahead of any other dairy produce we get.”

The New Zealand educational systeni was considered by the visitor as verfl fine. Discipline In New Zealand schools, she said, was much better) than she had seen anywhere else. She) was very interested in the manner in which Maori schools were conducted* One of the greatest difficulties Int Honolulu, she said, was the larg«| number >of different nationalities, re-» qulrlng a large number pf schools* Unfortunately the party had not seen' a great deal of the open-air schools! but what they had seen they thought) excellent. 1

“We are all going to be greal boosters for New Zealand," she said* “but I do think you should advertlsaj your scenlo beauties more. If Puke-* kura Park and Arthur’s pass wer<* advertised they, alone, would attracj many visitors.”
