MAORI GIRL DOMESTICS.
Per Press Association. Gisborne, April 5. The subject of Maori girls taking up domestic service was discussed at the Te Ante Association's conference today. A letter from the ltev. Mr. Gittos (Auckland) was read, stating that in Auckland Maori girls had been in ser» vice for a long time with success. Most of th-m belonged to lUngatiri families. So good had been the conduct of the girls that were there twice as nmnv looking fo» positions they could all be accommodated. They worked under a rough code of rules, and were under the personal supervision of a lady churchworker. Tt was resolved—"That this conference, believing that the future welfare of the Maori race is largely dependent on the work of the women in the management of the home and training of their children, would strongly advocate Maori girls seeking employment in good pakeha homes as domestic servants, where they may most effectively be fitted to.benefit both themselves anil I their race.
