TE ORANGA HOME ENQUIRY
CHRISTCHURCH, March 19. The Te Oranga Home enquiry wa3 continued to-day. The matron of the Auckland Industrial School stated that incorrigible girls in that institution were sent to the Te Oranga Home. She gave instances of the change in a number of girls she was acquainted with, who had been inmates of the home. Corrective discipline was necessary, but personally she disliked inflicting corporal punishment. She would like to see a classification system adopted. IV matron of the Caversham Industrial School stated that she would only adopt corporal punishment as a last resource. The Rev. Fendall, who wrote letters regarding the Te Oranga Home to a local paper, was examined at length, and adhered to the charge that punishing girls 19 and 20 years of age with a strap on practically the bare back was barbarous.
