The Currie Report: A Critique Association for the Study of Childhood, 10s 6d This small book contains commentaries by a number of writers on aspects of the 1962 Report of the Commission on Education. Among them are two long and perceptive articles by James E. Ritchie and E. G. Schwimmer on the education of Maori children, which will be of interest to all who are concerned with this. Dr Ritchie ends his

article by saying, ‘Somehow, we must sensitize the teacher, particularly the young teacher, to feel the multitude of personal difficulties, aspirations, and challenges the Maori meets in moving to the city, and to be refreshed by them, because all Maoris are not delinquents or otherwise problem people. They are for the most part engaged in a quest for a valid identity, moving with a sense of progress and vitality, successful, in a drama that the rest of New Zealand scarcely appreciates.’ —M.O.
