A SCHOOL FOR MAORI CARPENTRY APPRENTICES IS OPENED IN PANMURE In order to increase the flow of Maori apprentices, a carpentry training centre was opened at Panmure recently. The first annual intake of ten were mainly drawn from Opotiki, Thames, Kaeo and varius parts of Hokianga. Generously laid out and equipped the centre gives the boys two years training, both practical and theoretical. At the end of the time, all the theory for the trade examinations will have been covered, and when the boys go back to their districts, it should be easy for them to find apprenticeships and to qualify. The Department of Maori Affairs has supplied premises and equipment, while Seddon Memorial Technical College is providing the tuition. Pupils are selected by a panel of five experts, from applicants put forward through Maori welfare officers. Mr N. Billing, carpentry instructor, explains a point to Ernest Beach (Opotiki). Drawing class at the carpentry training centre.
