OUR NATIVE SCHOOLS
ONE of those rare prosecutions by the Native School authorities, for failure of Maori parents to force their children to attend school regularly, brings to mind the remarkable system of education which we in this country have built uu for the benefit of our young natives. In this district alone the splendid structures which serve the purpose of Native schools are in many obvious instances far better than those which house Pakeha children. r Jhe greatest endowment however is definitely the type of-persons who have been selected to act as teachers. It would be hard to find a better all-round group of instructors than those we know of in this district. Deeply interested in Maori affairs (very often students of Native culture and history), sympathetic to a degree, and willing at all times to take their share in the progress of the Maori community in which they live; they are a class on their own, and a product of Pakeha society of which we may well be proud.
