Keen Maori Interest in Farm Schools Recent farm schools organized by the Department of Agriculture in the Gisborne-East Coast district recently had a large and enthusiastic Maori audience. The fields superintendent of the department at Palmerston North, Mr C. J. Hamblyn, stated that attendances both Maori and pakeha had been much larger than expected, but that the most gratifying and encouraging feature was the keen interest shown by Maori farmers. Last June, schools were held at Rere, where there was an attendance of 22, at Tolaga Bay, where there was an attendance of 51, and at Te Araroa, where there was an attendance of 90. These were the first farm schools ever held at Rere and Te Araroa. While a number of European farmers within tasy reach of Te Araroa did not attend the school the Maori farmers flocked to it from as far away as Cape Runaway and Ruatoria, Mr Hamblyn said.
