NATIVE TEACHERS.
During the discussion of the native school vote of £30,700. in the House of Representatives Mr Mac Donald put in a plea for native school teachers. They deserved better pay. Their duties had recently been increased by the reigstration of births and deaths, and they lived in places so remote that they were often isolated from one year's end to another. ■■■■■• The Hon. A. T. Ngata stated that these teachers were guide, philosopher and friend to the natives. They gave medical advice as Will as knowledge. Incidentally the speaker advocated compulsory vaccination of Maori school children. The Hon. Jas. Allen replied that he had come to realise the value of the work dune by these teachers. He would be very pleased to represent to the Minister of Public Health what had been said in regard to vaccination.
