I tona haerenga kite kareti nui whiwhi ana ia ki enei tohu—ite B.A. ; M. A.; mete L.L.B. ; a inaianei kua tu ia hea tino roia. Ko Ngatiporou tona iwi.

Ko ta raua whakaaro ina waimarie mai, kia tu raua hei takuta mo te Maori. Tokorua nga tamariki o Te Aute kei roto i tetahi whare rongoa (Chemist) i Whanganui e akoana, ko Teneti Tomoana raua ko Gregor McGregor. Ko Riwai Hiwinui o Ngatiporou kei te kura a te Pihopa o Whakatu e ako ana hei minita. Ko ia mo te turanga o Perere Peneti, etita o Te Pipiwharauroa, hoa awhina o te minita o tetahi o nga whare karakia nunui o Whakatu, minita hoki o nga Maori o te Pihopatanga o Whakatu.

He wawata ano tenei na o matou ngakau kia whakaturia he Maori ano hei kai-whakaako mo etahi o nga kura Maori Ko Rihi Poata raua ko Tirita Ratema etahi tamariki wahine kei te whakaako kura. He Tokomaha ano kei nga mahi tari, ko etahi he hawhekaihe Pakeha rawa, ko W Prentice, Nepia ; Tirongo Paora, Hauraki ; Huia, Akarana ; Hori, Emera, Akarana ; John Thomson, Akarana; Ko Tamehana Peta, Hehitingi ; me Hori Hotene, Whakataane, he parakimete.

Kei te hohipera nui tonu ia o Akarana. Tokorua nga mea kei te hohipera nui o Nepia. He tino mahi pai tenei hei ako ma nga tamariki wahine Maori, ara te ako ki nga tikanga o te tiakituroro. He nui nga tangata Maori e mate ana, ehara i te mea na te kore rongoa, engari na te kuare o nga kai-tiaki. Ko Tamati Poutawera ano tetahi tamaiti Maori i puta pai tona matauranga. He maha nga tau i noho ai ia kite Tari Kooti Whenua Maori i Poneke. Ko ia te kai-whakamaori i etahi turanga o te Kooti Whenua Maori. Ko Ngapuhi tona iwi. He tangata kaingakau ia na nga Pakeha o Poneke. I tino mamae o matou ngakau i tona matenga i te tau 1897. Ko te tikanga o ta matou whakaatu i nga mahi a enei tamariki, ehara itemea hei whakapehapeha, hei whakariterite ranei i tetahi kura, ki tetahi kura, kahore, engari he whakaatu kite Maori kia kaha te tuku i a ratou tamariki kite kura. Eora ai tatou te Maori, ma te kura ma te Whakapono. Ehara hoki itemea he whakahawea tenei ki era atu tamariki kahore nei o ratou ingoa i I whakahu itia. He tokomaha nga tamariki i Maori, kei te whakatipu kararehe, kei te mahi paamu, kei te mahi hoki i era atu mahi pai, hei oranga mo te tinana. Kahore matou i te mohio ki o ratou ingoa katoa. j Heoi ra e te iwi whakaarohia enei tamariki, j me to ratou kaha ka kaha hoki te tono i a koutou tamariki ki te kura, Kia pau te uaua kite kimi oranga mo ratou, He kupu whakamutunga pea ma matou ki o matou hoa kua tuhia nei nga ingoa, me kupu Karaipiture : *' A.) n £ a MSS' katoa e mea ai koutou mahia ngakautia hei mea ki te Ariki, a ehara i te mea ki nga tangata.” E te iwi, e te rahi, e te iti, kua rongo nei koutou kite mohiotanga o enei tamariki, kaua o koutou ngakau e pouri, e tamate, i te mea e kore pea koutoue whiwhi ki enei matauranga o te Pakeha, kua whiwhi nei enei tamariki. Tera ano te tino matauranga e riro mai i nga tangata katoa, ahakoa ko wai te tangata. Tenei matauranga, ko te matauranga i kiia ra e te Karaiti ko te oranga tonutanga. “ A ko te oranga tonutanga tenei, kia matau ratou ki a koe . . . , kia Ihu Karaiti ano hoki . . . .” Hoani 17.3. Ko tenei matauranga ehara ma te matauranga o tenei ao e riro mai ai i te tangata, engari ma te ngakau mahaki. “ I tarn* wa ka oho a Ihu, ka maa, He whakawhetai atu taku ki
a koe, e Pa, e te Ariki o te rangi ote whenua, no t j mea kua buna e koe enei mea i te hunga matau, i te hunga mabara, a hurahia atu ana ki nga kohungabunga.” E te tangata he pai ano te matauranga, nga rawa o tenei a:, otira mehemea kahore te matauranga ki te Atua, he horihori kau enei mea katoa. ‘ He aba boki te pai ki te tangata, kite riro iaiate ao katoa, aka kore he ora mona ?” Kore, kore rawa atu he painga.
