FRESH AIR

In Doctor de Lisle’s speech to the hui of the Te Aute Association held at Awapuni he said that the best medicine in the world, the kindest medicine, one that doesn’t have to be paid for, is fresh air. Although Pakeha are a learned people some of them are still ignorant of this good medicine; and perhaps most Maori are ignorant of this great thing. It is our view that if one had to pay for fresh air as one has to pay for medicine and alcohol then perhaps people would appreciate it.
