"TE WANANGA."
He pono ano, ka raru te tangata iti te matauranga, ara ka whakama—hui kite ngakau whakahi, ka tino raru. Ko te Wananga e whakahe mai ana kite ahua o to matou reo Maori, a heoi te mea i taea e ia i runga i tana main whakahe, ko te whakaari kau mai i tona kuaretanga ki nga tikanga i roto i te reo Maori. Kua kohikohi he noa mai ia i nga kupu "karama " ara nga kupu tohungatanga, hei tohutohu mana i te tikanga ote reo a raruraru ana, porauralia noa iho ana tona whakaaro. Ahakoa lie kuare ia, kua ia i nga kupu tohunga kia kiia ai lie tohunga ia; me alia tana korenga e tae kite kura, ite mea kua tutaki ia i nga akonga i te huarahi, a riro mai ana i a te ah.ua kau o a ratou kupu tohunga hei mea hapai kuare mana. Heoi te tino tikanga e kitea ana 1 roto 1 taua korero whakahe a te Wcmcincjd ko te ngakau mauahara ki nga apiha a te Kawanatanga, ki te Waha Maori rawa ano hoki, he whakahi tetahi, he noa i a ia. Ko te ahua o taua korero, he wairangi noa iho ; ka kitea noatia tona he, mete kuaretanga o te tangata nana i tiihi, e tetahi tamaiti matau iti noa iho nei. E ki mai ana he kupu he te kupu nei na, i roto i nga Kahiti, ara, " I taia i runga i te mana o te Kawanatanga," engari te kupu tika, e ai ki tana, "Na te mana o te Kawanatanga i taia ai"—na, ki ta matou e mohio ai e takoto ke ana te tikanga o taua kupu, e whakaatu ana i te take i perehitia ai, e penei ana hoki, "Na te mea e whai mana ana te Kawanatanga na reira 1 taia ai." Ko te tino tikanga tenei, ara, " I taia i runga i te mana o te Kawanatanga " —ko te whakamaramatanga a te Wananga i taua kupu e penei ana, ara, " I taia i runga ahe o te mana o te Kawanatanga! " E whakahe ana te Wananga kite kupu " i runga e ki ana, " heoi te mea e whakahuatia ai taua kupu hei nga mea e kitea ana e te kanohi, ara mo nga mea e whakatakotoria ana tetahi ki. runga ki tetahi, te rakau, te kohatu, me etahi atu mea pera; e kore e tilca mo te mana ote ture, ote aha ranei." He tino porangi rawa atu tenei tohungatanga a te Wananga. Ta matou kupu ki aia me titiro ia kite pukapuka whakaako i te reo Maori a te Manihera (Minita nei), kia mohio ai ia ki tetahi reo Maori mana, kia mohio ai hoki ia kite tikanga ote kupu " ai," eki mai nei ia e korero manuheko ana matou i te hanga e whakahua nei matou i taua kupu i roto i te Waha Maori, e mea nei, "e ai ana he mea" kite ai he mea," me etahi atu kupu pera. Kihai i whakamaoritia e te Wananga tana korero whakahe, i taia kite reo Pakeha anake; engari me whakamaori hei titiro ma ona hoa Maori. Na wai i ki kei te nupepa mohoao, titotito noa, pera mete Wananga, he tikanga e kiia ai he mohio matou kite reo Maori, he kore ranei. Ko tenei kua puta nei enei kupu i a matou, me mutu ta matou korero. E kore matou e pai kia whakaritea te hiahia nui o te Wananga e wawata mai nei ia kia waiho ko matou rawa ano hei hoa tautohetohe mona, ara ko te Waha Maori hei ara e puta ai tona rongo me tona matauranga (pohehe nei) kite reo Maori. E kore ia e tau hei hoa riri mo matou, tetahi e kore ano hoki matou e pai kia waiho ko te kuare raua ko te whakakake hei hoa tautohe mo matou —kaore ra, e kore ano hoki e tika, i runga i tenei tu korero rawa aao, no te mea e kore e mohio te nuinga atu o te iwi Pakeha i a wai ranei te tika, i a wai ranei. Otira kaore matou e whakapono ana na te Kai Tuhi o te Wananga taua korero whakahe—ahakoa he reo pchehe tona reo Maori, e kore ano pea ia e pena rava te kuare. Tena na tetahi ringa tauhou pea i tu'intuhi.
