"New Zealand, by reason of her successful management of the Maoris, is the one country in the world best fitted for the caro and control of all the. Polynesians," said Sir Apirana Ngata, Minister of Nativo Affairs, at the open-: ing of the new buildings of St. Stephen's School for Maori Boys at Bombay. "There may be difficulties in the way," he added, "but it would _be a good thing if it could be accomplished. I will admit that we made a fow mifftakes in Samoa and, also in New Zealand, but that, so fo speak, is between you and me. Wo sent to Samoa the very people who had no experience of tho Maori race, and that was our first mistake. No doubt it will be remedied in the future, and the years will heal the wounds." •
