“PAKEHA INSTRUCTORS”
MAORIS NEED LEADERS OF OWN RACE (THE SUN'S Parliamentary Reporter.) WELLINGTON, Friday. **r PHE Maori is not learning from the pakeha. He won’t. He learns best from his own people.” In these striking sentences the Hon. Sir Apirana Ngata, member for Eastern Maori, reminded the House of Representatives this evening that it is leaders from among their own race that Maoris need and not pakeha instructors. “The Government must look out for men of the Maori race who will be the best possible leaders,” said Sir Apirana. 44 1 t should take them in hand, teach them all it can, and send them out to instruct their own people.” He pointed out that a Maori would try to emulate the accomplishments of his fellow Maori, but of those of the pakeha he would say “it’s natural to him. He brought it out from England.” The Minister of Education should bear in mind that good leadership was essential for the development among the Maoris.
