his tribe that he has nearly lost by the modified environment. The third proposal makes provision for an outlet to those who have received an education at schools like Te Aute, St. Stephen's, &c. The employment of young men and women in native schools is a desirable and proper course to adopt. On the completion of their school career they should be permitted to attend public schools like Napier and Gisborne along the East Coast district, and Wellington, Wanganui, and New Plymouth on the south and west, and their training should be regulated by the inspectors of schools in the several districts. A six months' course of training would suffice to prepare the young people for employment as pupil-teachers in native schools. The same effects may be expected from the adoption of this plan as are met with in the case of pupil-teachers in the public schools who are trained as masters and mistresses. All the native young men and women who are trained away from their own homes realise the advantages of a modified form of civilisation for their own people, and they would gladly see an improvement in the home conditions of families such as now exist. Were provision made for the maintenance of such pupil-teachers in places away from their own homes, a knowledge that their position and advancement depended upon their attention to duty would be a sufficient inducement to perform their work to the satisfaction of the governing authorities. Many of the young men who have been trained in that excellent institution at Te Aute, established for the benefit of natives by Archdeacon Samuel Williams, are imbued with a strong desire to work for the social and moral improvement of their race, and should the way be opened on the lines here suggested we may look for great things in the way of Maori improvement and progress. The fourth suggestion bears directly upon the anticipatory work of the younger natives. If the younger generation is to prosper, there must be channels opened to them in anticipation of their entrance into life. It is for this reason that the establishment of special scholarships is proposed. Mr. R. D. D. McLean, M.H.R., in honour of his father, the late Sir Donald McLean, has established what are known as “Te Makarini Scholarships,” by means of which younger natives can pursue their studies at Te Aute College, and from thence they can proceed to one of the university colleges to complete their education. Much good is being done in this way, and, were the number of scholarships increased by the Government, specialisation in the training could proceed in such manner that in a few years the native race would have their own supply of lawyers, ministers, teachers, and doctors. Local organization and government would soon be strengthened by the influence of such persons, whose habits
