MAORI CONGRESS.
Wellington, July 20,
To-day the Maori Congress discussed a letter from Lady Stout urging that all Maori girls who were not fitted for the professions of missionaries, teachers, doctors, or nurses, could be taken as domestic helps. After discussion it was decided that the Congress fully sympathises with the object that Lady Stout has in view and is of opinion that the domestic training of Maori girls is to be encouraged as part of the genera! scheme for the uplifting of the Maori race but that the employment of Maori girls as domestic servants amongst Kuiopeaus is not desirable as a general practice.
