NGA TAMARIKI WAHINE.
Te Whai-korero a te Kawana. I tu he hui ki Akarana, ko te Kawana ko Rore Renewhare te tumuaki, he uiui mo te whakatu he kura ki Akarana hei whakaakoranga i nga tamariki wahine, he kura pera me Hukarere. No te tau 1897 i timataria ai tenei korero, ame he mea kite tu taua kura tera e huaina ko Kuini Wikitoria Tiupiri Kura. Kaore ano kia tino kaha te tautoko a te Pihopatanga o Akarana i tenei whakaaro i te nui rawa pea o era atu raruraru. Kua £lO6 tonu te moni kei te ringaringa, ko tetahi wahi 0 tenei moni na nga Maori ano i kohikohi; e £3OO te moni e whakaarotia ana hei timataranga ite kura. I mea te hekeretari kite hihiko te kohi a te pakeha e*kore e hapa te awhina a te iwi Maori. Ko nga tino kupu ia o taua huihuinga i makere mai i nga ngutu ote Kawana. I mea ia ki tana whakaaro kua rite nga take i whakaturia ai a Tipene, te kura mo nga tamariki tane, ahakoa kaore i pai katoa, i tipu totika nga tamariki i whakaakona ki reira, engari ra kua kitea te painga o etahi. He aha hoki i kore ai e whakaturia he kura pera me Tipene mo nga tamariki wahine Maori ? E kore e kitea te nui o te painga i te whakatipuranga tuatahi, engari me he mea ka mahi tonu, a taihoa kanui haere nga hua, waihoki kia hohoro te whakaara i te kura mo nga wahine kia wawe te kiiea nga hua. He nui tona hari kite tuhi 1 o raua ingoa ko tona hoa wahine hei tautoko i te kohi mo te tau kotahi ina kohikohi hoki etahi atu. He iti noa iho te moni e tonoa ana. E tino tumanako ana ia kia tu tenei kura. I kore ai pea e tino tautokongia tenei whakaaro e te tangata he nui raw T a no nga mea hei kohinga i enei ra: te whawhai, te mate-kai i Inia; he tika'tonu enei take katoa, otira kaua hoki e wareware ki nga mate o te kainga. E kore rawa e tika kia uiui te ngakau he pai ranei te whakaako i nga kotiro Maori. E tino kitea ana ka taea ano te kotiro Maori te whakaako ki nga mahi pai. Kaua e ruarua te ngakau ina kotiti ke nga mea tuatahi i whakaakona; ko etahi e kore e taka. Tetahi take nui e kaha ai nga tamariki wahine Maori kei nga pakeha ano, ara hei te mutunga o ta ratou kura me mau e nga pakeha ki roto i o ratou whare noho ai kia matakitaki ai ratou ki ta te pakeha tu noho. Kite penei te mahi ate tangata e kore rawa e hapa te kitea nga hua atahua ote kura e korerotia nei e ratou. I umeretia i whakamihia te whai-korero a te Kawana. Kia orate Kawana ! Te tangata !
I whai-korero ano a Pihopa Kaui, te Paraimete o Niu Tireni; i mea ia, e kaha ai te tautoko a te tangata kia mohio ratou he taina he tuakana nga tangata katoa. I mea a Atirikona Karaka kia neke ke atu te whakaako i nga tamariki wahine i nga tamariki taane, no te mea he kaha ke atu te mana whakaako ote wahine ito te taane. Na Kapene Keretana 1 uaki te motini whakamihi mo nga kupu a te Kawana.
