THE MAORI PEOPLE OF WELLINGTON (continued from page 25) Maori women serve on neighbourhood projects such as the free kindergarten at Naenae; they are members of young wives' groups; their children attend local Sunday schools. In the Waiwhetu community the people insist on a separate Maori Sunday School and take little part in the P.T.A. or the Free Kindergarten. In the mixed communities pakehas baby-sit for Maoris and vice-versa, but in a Maori neighbourhood generally children and all go out: babysitting is an institution with only a few. On an average I would say, from my observation, that Maori homes scattered about in the community at large are if anything better kept than the average home in a Maori neighbourhood. Therefore it would seem that, from the point of view of the desirability for greater respect and fuller participation in the life of the urban community as a whole, the policy of scattered Maori housing would be better than the other.
