The State and the Man
The State and the Man.
The State in New Zealand watches over the child at its birth, enforces education and protects it in adolescence from labour which would overtax its strength, assists to and in some cases supplies work for the labourer, or provides land for his cultivation, cooperates with charity in providing for the deserving and aged poor, enables the thrifty to secure provision for their families at death, and after death undertakes the administration of their property.
