Included in the roll of the Wesley Methodist Training College at Paerata. near Auckland, this year are two pupils from the Solomon Islands, two from Tonga, one Rarotongan boy, two Fijians, and 25 Maoris, as well as a large number of Europeans. “There are few schools in the Dominion with such a cosmopolitan basis,” said the principal of the college (Mr R. C. Clark) at the annual Dominion conference of the Methodist Church in Christchurch. Mr Clark said that there was no colour question in the college, and the fact that boys of several races lived, played and worked together showed what a sound basis Of Christian brotherhood there was in the college.
