LITERARY COMPETITION IN MAORI For the fourth literary competition in Maori there were five entries. Every one of them was good, and will be published in Te Ao Hou. Our judge, Mr M. Te Rokohiko Jones, reports as follows: “I award first prize to the writer of ‘Haere ma te Tuaraki Korua e Manaaki’ and second prize to ‘Rapua te Matauranga o te Pakeha i roto i Te Ao Hou.’ “The first prize winner has written a very good essay with excellent Maori. The only argument I have with him is in regard to his spelling of the words ‘manaaki’ with one ‘a’ and ‘ataahua’ with one ‘a’, otherwise it is an excellent essay. The story is about two people who were made outcasts by the people and banished to an island. “The second prize winner has written a very good essay on the aims and objects of the Maori Welfare Division. There were, how Maori Welfare Division. There were, however, a few careless mistakes throughout the essay. The other three were fair.” The essay ‘Rapua te Matauranga o te Pakeha i roto i Te Ao Hou,’ by Mr Peter Kaua, of Gisborne, will be published in our next issue.
