SPECIAL SCHOOLS A number of special schools are scattered throughout Auckland: Titirangi has a school for the deaf, Parnell has a school for the blind, Epsom a cerebal palsy centre, and Onehunga a backward class for slow learners. Newmarket has a remedial clinic, Auckland Hospital an educational centre, and Owairaka a school for difficult boys. All these schools cater for Maoris as well as Pakehas. Each child is given special treatment and training. Many Maoris are becoming aware of these special facilities, for there is an increasing number taking advantage of them. To sum up, Auckland's importance to the Maori as an educational centre can hardly be overemphasised: not only do city schools and colleges help to adapt the Auckland Maori to the social pattern of the urban community, but they also increasingly serve the Maoris from other parts of the province. To hundreds of young Maoris, Auckland is an educational Mecca from where they can radiate out to the villages and help in the successful adjustment of the Maori of the future.
