MAORI EDUCATION FOUNDATION (1) That some awards should be made on merit alone. (Explanatory note: One way of implementing this would be to give all Maori children in Form II the opportunity of sitting the Education Department's Maori scholarship examination, and to make awards to the top twenty.) (2) That the Maori Education Foundation funds should not be used to help large numbers of children from any one school area over a number of years, as the same money could be used for erecting a hostel. The responsibility is a departmental one; the economics of the situation should be accepted by the State. (This refers to the situation in Ruatahuna, where a small number of school children live in a very isolated area.) (3) That the capital of the Maori Education Foundation should not be used. (4) That the names of those awarded grants from the Maori Education Foundation should be published.

VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE (1) That it be recommended to the Education Department that vocational guidance officers should visit Form II classes in country schools, as well as the secondary school classes which they visit at present.

CRIME (1) That there should be no separate jails for Maoris. (2) That this Conference approves of pre-release hostels. (3) That support be given to the principle of establishing separate penal institutions for first offenders, Maori and European. (4) That the existing legal aid panel be extended to cover the smaller towns and be available to Maoris charged with any crime.

SOCIAL (1) That the Government endeavour to encourage those companies throughout New Zealand which operate single men's camps, to appoint industrial welfare officers. (2) That the Maori Affairs Department promote a vigorous savings campaign aimed particularly at our young people. (3) That provision be made for the appointment of resident Maori welfare officers in areas, such as Murupara, which are not already served in this way. ?
