entitled 'Picturesque New Zealand . ' The expense of this publicationone would think
woul JL d make its mercantile , success somewhat , doubtful , though & - its -- value --- is unquestionable j _
when the historical interest and magnificence of the country described is borne in mind . As a rule these are subscription books
disposed of by canvassers . The latter x require , and receive a very high rate of remuneration ,
sometimes as much as 40 per cent . As they have long distances to traverse in a
sparselypeopled country , where modes of conveyance are few and expenses t hig h , it is not surprising * w
that the men are offered good inducements . Capable men get on very well , but , as is the case in England and Americait is difficult to
^ y , obtain the services of those who are dependable and well fitted for the work . Throughout Australia this dilemma is a very serious one
for employers , who never cease complaining of the intractability of their canvassers , who
are perverse even in a country where idleness is a punishable crime .
The school-book question is important in New Zealand . A very excellent and successful
series of school-books suitable for elementary schools is published by Messrs . Whitcomb &
