MAORI CULTURE TAUGHT Maori culture will from now on be taught to New Zealand future teachers. At the Auckland Teachers' Training College, a lecturer has been appointed with the special task of explaining to students the cultural pattern of the Maori people, to make them understand the fundamental needs of Maori children and give an elementary course of lectures on the language, customs and traditions. The first man chosen for this lectureship is Mr H. C. A. Lambert, a former company commander of the Maori Battalion and winner of the Military Cross. He was for seven years headmaster of the school for the blind in Auckland, and in 1956 became Maori Vocational Guidance Officer for the Auckland province.
