THE MAORIS.
(By Telegraph:—Press Association.) Wellington, last night,
The reports of the Maori census enumerators show that there has been a great improvement in the condition of the Native race during the past few years. The Maoris, generally speaking, are more cleanly in their habits, and consequently are more healthy, and most of tho enumerators are convinced that tho visits of tho Native Medical Officer and stricter compliance with sanitary laws under the Maori Councils Act will bring about a still further improvement. In most districts the Natives are more industrious than they were. Drunkenness is less prevalent, and the death-rate has decreased. In nearly every large district there is a much greater number of young children in proportion to tire adult population than in the previous census.
