i n ga tamariki Maori. Ko nga tamariki e pahi atu i enei kura ka haere ki nga Whare Wananga kia whakaakona ki nga mahi roia, ki nga mahi takuta me era atu mahi a hinengaro. Ko te tohutohu a te Tari mo nga kura i mua ake nei e kore e ahei nga tamariki e tata ana ki nga haikura mo nga awhina hei kawe i a ratou ki nga kura rawaho mo nga tamariki anake kaore o ratou na haikura aua awhina. I te mea kua rato te nuinga o nga rohe i te haikura kua takitahi haere nga tamariki e whiwhi ki aua awhina mo nga kura rawaho. E 80 nga karahipi o te wariu £70 ki te £75 e whakaputaina ana ia tau ia tau, a i tera tau nei hui katoa aua momo karahipi ki te 307. Ko te tono a nga Maori i te hui i Poneke i tera Noema me wehe te 40 o aua karahipi e 80 mo nga tamariki kakama kei nga rohe he haikura o ratou a ko tetahi 40 mo nga tamariki kaore o ratou na haikura. E tika ana ra kia koa nga matua mo te whakatau a te Minita mo nga kura mo nga karahipi nei. Ahakoa hoki te pai o nga haikura hou nei, ko te tumanako ia o nga matua kia wehe atu a ratou tamariki i te kainga kia matatau ai ki nga tikanga o te ao, kia tutataki ki nga tamariki o raua iwi a kia riro ma te tangata ke e tohutohu. Ko te tumanako tenei o nga matua Maori katoa engari ia na te utu o enei momo kura, whawha ana hoki ki te £200 i te tua, i whakahaehae. WHAKATAU He kokonga whare, e kitea, He kokonga ngakau, e kore e kitea. A corner of a house can be seen and examined, Not so the corners of your heart. He kotuku kai whakaata, ehara i te parera apu paru. A white heron peering upon its food, not a mud gobbling duck. (Applied to host who refrains from eating whilst attending to needs of his guest). He kaka ki te haere, he kuku ki te kainga. A kaka when travelling, a pigeon at home. (Applied to a person who when travelling loudly announces his approach to a village, but in his own home sits quietly whilst travellers pass by). Reo Takiwa these eighty scholarships should in future be devoted to children of special ability living in areas served by district high schools. This would leave forty for the very isolated areas where no secondary schools exist at all. The committee accepted the proposal which was approved last April by the Minister of Education. The decision should be received with great satisfaction among Maori parents. In spite of the entirely adequate education given by the district high schools to the great majority of pupils, many Maori parents still like to send their brighter children away from the village for their schooling. They like them to undergo the influence of the boarding school environment because they think it will bring them a new outlook and make success in the world easier. It is not a shirking of responsibility for the cost of boarding school (all in all at least £200 per year) is a considerable responsibility, scholarship or no. A college offering a professional course is particularly valuable for the brighter child who is suitable for entering one of the professions. Too many of these fail today through cultural reasons, that is, through the gap between the home community and a professional course at high school. This is a purely Maori problem and it is right that there should be a special scholarship provision for Maoris to overcome it at the present time. Even with this provision it will take years before Maoris can get the same benefit from the country's advanced education facilities as the Europeans get at present. The Rt. Hon. S. G. Holland at last year's Te Aute College break-up, examines a taiaha held by Garry Rangiihu, the college haka leader. In his prize-giving address, the Prime Minister reminded the boys that Te Aute College had given the world two great statesmen in Sir Apirana Ngata and Sir Peter Buck, and they had been boys just like the present generation—doing the same things, playing the same pranks, learning from the same sort of teachers. ‘And,’ he said, ‘there is still plenty of room at the top.’
