specialised jobs among them, such as private secretaries to high executives, both within the Government and also in business. Some of our men too have earned for themselves places of very great responsibility in the life of the city, in the Police Force, in Departments other than Maori and in private business. However, these are men who have reached these positions as a result of years of service. In the younger age groups we have young men of outstanding promise in the trades and professions. In one of the big chemist shops in Wellington the head druggist, a qualified chemist, is a Maori boy aged about 21 or 22—Mr Riri Harris. We have in the city yet another qualified young man who practises his profession as a part-time chemist while studying to complete his B.Sc. degree at Victoria University. We have also a young boy from Otaki, Mr Whata Winiata, a qualified accountant and completing his B.Com. degree as well as working at his profession. We have many others tucked away in odd places who from time to time appear with their Maori folk. While these are encouraging signs, greater things need yet to be done in these fields by a greater number of our young people.

MAORI STUDENTS The students who reside for a certain period of years in order to further their education, are a section of our urban population whom I firmly believe merit the wholehearted support and admiration of all the Maoris at large. They are young, eager and ambitious, but many also are immature and impecunious. They are the group who I feel meet with the widest range of conflicts of any Maori group resident in the city. Theirs is a very difficult lot. Although problems of accommodation are not nearly as acute as they used to be, it is still a problem for impoverished students whether they be Maori or pakeha. In the body of Maori Students in Wellington we must include (1) Training College Students, (2) Dental Nurses, (3) Student Nurses, (4) Trade trainees, (5) University students. While difficulties which confront this group are many and varied, the biggest problem is that of adjustment. There has been a large measure of success amongst those who fall into the first four categories, but with those attending University, results are not so good. University students are left more to themselves and are required to organise themselves much more than the others, and from observations it seems that their great cause of difficulty is the problem of organisation of the personal life and the budgeting of individual time. Coming as they do from either the quiet of the country or from the ordered ways of a disciplined institutional life, such as is found in our secondary schools, like Te Aute College and other places, it would seem that once they hit the lights of city life their equilibrium becomes upset and they need Training College students spend a good deal of their time in the college library.
