MAORIS TO GIVE ADVICE ON EDUCATION An experiment to determine the needs of Maori school children is being made at four schools by the Auckland Education Board. The selected schools have a high proportion of Maori pupils. The board has established extra facilities at them —special reading materials, an arrangement whereby Maori children may take library books home, extra first-aid and medical supplies, and hot showers. The secretary-manager, Mr G. H. Short-land, said the board is communicating with the Maori Affairs Department on the question of co-opting two representatives of the Maori people to assist its committee on Maori education. One would represent the Maoris north of Auckland, and the other those in the south.
