Brief Notices Cover Photo: A young Dutch photographer, Miss A. Westra, in New Zealand visiting relatives, took the charming child study on the cover just outside Ohinemutu Church. Another study will appear on the cover in the September issue. The Editor wishes to apologise for the lateness of appearance of Issue 31, but he was unavoidably committed to a three-month tour of the country under the auspices of Adult Education. This apology should also be made to correspondents, who may have had to wait some time before their correspondence and contributions were acknowledged. Back Issues: As previously stated, the supply of some back issues has become very short. No. 16 can be purchased, but the price will now be 5/- instead of 3/-, and back issue No. 9 is now so scarce that it must be withdrawn from sale. Renewal Stickers: If your subscription is expiring, you will find an expiry sticker on the wrapper of your issue. Please examine the wrapper carefully and if the sticker appears on it, send us a renewal as soon as possible on the form enclosed with the issue. Contributions in Maori: Ko tetahi o nga whakaaro nui o Te Ao Hou he pupuri kia mau te reo Maori. Otira ko te nuinga o nga korero kei te tukua mai kei te reo Pakeha anake. Mehemea hoki ka nui mai nga korero i tuhia ki te reo Maori ka whakanuia ake te wahanga o ta tatou pukapuka mo nga korero Maori. A Disclaimer. The Department of Maori Affairs does not hold itself responsible for the opinions expressed by contributors to Te Ao Hou. We do our best to check the facts, but the responsibility for statements in signed articles remains the author's alone. The magazine as a text in schools.
