EDUCATION OF MAORI CHILDREN.
f HE Minister of Education was aeked by Mr Jennings on Wednesday whether | he will formulate a scheme that will go in the direction of teaching children attending native schools up to the Sixth Standard, as adopted in other public schools in the colony ? The Micis'er said in the course of i-.be years ISO I and 1902 twenty-six 1 pupils of native schools passed Standard VI,, and exactly a hundred passed Standard V. Where children at these schools were sufficiently advanced th n y had opportunity given them for passing Standard VI., nod were constantly trained with a view to their passing it, Tie task was very much harder for Maoris than for Europeans, seeing that Che former bad to master a foreign language, while the latter had no such work to do. The revised syllabus dow being drawn up would also make provision for Maori children that show ability to be taught the work of Standards V. and VI.
