Irregular Attendance Of Maori School Children
Eight notices to parents, all Maoris, were sent in the month, reported the attendance offlcer, Mr. F. Liley, to the monthly meeting of the Taranaki Education Board at New Plymouth. Several notices of warning were sent to all the parents, he said, but they had the idea they could send the children to school just when they liked. With the exceptlon of one family, all lived at the Normanby pa. The matter was referred to Dr. W. M. Thomson and Mr. J. C. Barclay with a view to seeking the co-operation of the Maori Trust Board. The need for teachers to co-operate by asking for the child's progress card was emphasised.
