Te Ao Hou, December 1965, Page 56

The material is easy to digest, for it is presented in a practical, down-to-earth-manner, and full use is made of diagrams. Much of the information has been condensed from dozens of pamphlets and books. It is indeed a pity that the authors were not born earlier, so that people like myself would have received some knowledge of the outside world. Subjects are presented in a way which will encourage discussion and the formation of readers' own ideas. Some people may consider that certain of the subjects are in the controversial field; such topics as citizenship, race relations, the function of government and the responsibilities of developed countries to emerging countries, will undoubtedly provoke thoughtful discussion. Chapter 11 on population is well done, and is a ‘must’ so far as Maori parents and children are concerned. This book is aimed at the school leaver. May I suggest that it is also a ‘must’ for members of Maori Women's Welfare Leagues, Maori Committees, and last but not least, social workers in the Maori field. ‘Beyond School’ costs 16s 6d, and is cheap at the price.
