Maori education has been helped more than many realize by the Maori Trust Boards. These Boards spend many thousands of pounds annually on the education of their tribesmen. Some have standard grants for every child who takes up secondary education, others now concentrate more on advanced and university training. Last February the Trust Boards had their first national meteing. Delegates from all over the country met in Christchurch. The newest trust boards (Tokerau and Aupouri) were also represented. Mr P. H. Leonard described the method followed by the Arawa Trust Board in paying educational grants and the discussion that followed helped other Boards to clarify their own policy. Many other topics were also discussed. In the photo, Mr Nga-kohu Pera (Whakatohea Trust Board) is rubbing noses with Mr Frank Winter (Ngaitahu Trust Board.) (Photograph: Christchurch Star-Sun.)
