Queen Victoria Appeal In declaring the Queen Victoria School Appeal officially open last year, the Minister of Maori Affairs, the Hon. Duncan MacIntyre, recalled the saying, ‘Educate a man and you educate an individual, but educate a woman and you educate a family.’ He spoke of the growing number of people who believed that Maori language, culture, and ways of expression had an important part to play in the complete development of the Maori child, and urged all New Zealanders, Maori and Pakeha, to contribute their strengths to the building of a truly distinctive New Zealand way of life. He said he was glad to be helping a secondary school that had proved it could prepare young Maori people to take a purposeful and active part in our modern society, and he believed that there was an important place for the type of people who were coming from the Maori church schools. Queen Victoria's ‘School Cloak’ lent to Mrs MacIntyre for the welcome He said there was a depth of emotion in people's feelings about Queen Victoria School, but two more things were necessary—good business management by the school administrators, and finance from the public. He gave his full support to the appeal. The Hon. Duncan MacIntyre, accompanied by Mr N. P. K. Puriri, is challenged at the entrance to Queen Victoria School N.P.S. photos
