MAORI GIRLS VISIT U.S. Two Maori girls have been granted American Field Service International Scholarships. The scholarships have been awarded to Miss Tungia Baker, daughter of Mr and Mrs Matenga Baker, of Otaki; and to Miss Hine Kino Taroi Wills, of Wanganui Girl's College. Miss Will's father comes from Gisborne and her mother from Wanganui. Miss Wills is considered a very bright girl. She has passed the University Entrance examination and also has the Higher Leaving Certificate. She is 16 years of age. Miss Baker has been a pupil of Queen Victoria Girl's School, Auckland. She has an outstanding academic record. She was dux of Queen Victoria in 1956 and has won other school prizes, including one for the best all-round girl. She is 18 years of age. The two girls sailed for the United States last July. Under their scholarship awards they will spend a year in America. During that time they will each live with a private family as a member of the family. The object of this scheme, under which children from the United States spend a year in foreign countries as well as children from those countries spending a year in the United States, is to bring together on common ground people of all races and thus promote international good fellowship. A vivid description of the life of an A.F.S. scholar appeared in a recent issue of Te Ao Hou.
