Te Aute College
(Per Press Associationi WELLINGTON, May 31. The Te Aute Trust Commission sat here to-day and took the evidence of J. H. Pop's ox-Inspector of Native Schools, and of G. Hogben, Inspector-General of Schools. Mr Pops gave it as his opinion that although in tho initial stages of study, there might bo an advantage with children of Europeans;, due to what might be termed ancestral aptitude, yet when the stillness iko to tfpeal;} wore off there was no differcucs between the Maori and the European, although it had become apparent to witness and others that not every Maori boy was fitted to become a successful University man. Technical and manual instruction should be given to tho Maoris. Mr Hogbon said one did not blame the Te Aute College authorities* for being behind the time*, since the whole system of education li-ul changsd in the lost twenty-live years, and would probably change wholly again during the next twenty-five. The time had come when there .should be a radical change at Te Ar.:e. There <-hou!d be no attempt made to **put new wine into old bottles."
