Miss Meri Kururangi, Maori Arts and Crafts Adviser to the Education Department, with children at Hobsonville. Will Mr Tovey's work be the forerunner of an era of intense and extensive creativeness in the fields of Maori art, resulting in the development of fresh and inspiring works which more closely express our life of today? Or are we to see the slavish imitation of existing works and the creation of stereotypes? Will our Maori songs and hakas find a niche in national ceremonies and festive occasions, or will they continue to be plied for tourist value only? Will we see the emergence of Maori song writers who are not dependent on American pop-tunes for inspiration? Will we see a greater appreciation of things Maori, or shall the Maori suffer the cheapening of his art, simply because it has become commonplace? We know not! Whatever happens will depend largely on our teachers and on ourselves. Mr Tovey has set the wheel turning—the rest is dependent on our enthusiasm, our inventiveness, and our ability to impart what we feel to our youngsters.
