LETTERS

To All Graduates Ki nga Tohu o te Motu: Nga mihi o te wa ki a koutou katoa. Tena koutou i nga mate maha o te Motu. Kua riro ratou ki te Po. Na koutou i tuku, i tangi, na tatou katoa. Kaati. He tangi atu tenei ki a koutou kia manawanui mai ki tenei take e whaia nei e ahau hei painga mo te Iwi mo te Motu hoki. My friends, I am an American anthropologist in your country for the next two years in order to do some research on some aspects of higher education among Maoris. I am especially interested in the role of the Maori graduate in the Maori, as well as the total New Zealand community. This means that I must see the older graduates as well as the young. As a preliminary step, I have sent out about 150 information sheets; I hope sincerely that the Maori graduates will respond, in as much as I must have some general data before I can arrange personal interviews all over New Zealand. The success of such a project depends, of course, entirely on the co-operation of the Maori graduates. I do so want this project to be a real contribution to Maori research! May I please have your support? I am looking forward to seeing you. Kia ora, Tom Fitzgerald

The Editor, ‘Te Ao Hou’, Could you please get me a few pen-friends among the Maoris. I am interested about the Maoris of New Zealand and shall be very happy indeed if you could procure a few pen-friends among them—men or women. I am a 50-year-old housewife, who is interested in reading, gardening, poultry-keeping, sewing, films, radio, travelling, excursions, etc. Yours faithfully, Mrs J. R. Denny, Sekuwatte Estate, Dalupitiya Road, Kadawata, CEYLON.

ADVERTISER'S ANNOUNCEMENT Nō tētahi reta ki a Kuini Wikitoria: “Ko tā te Atua i hōmai ai hei tino rongoā, hei tino taonga hoki mō te whakaoranga o te ao katoa, ko te whakakotahitanga i āna tāngata katoa i tā tatou nei Take, kotahi anō Whakapono …” “Ko tērā i whakakitea nei i roto i tēnei whakakitenga nui kāore anō kia kitea e te ao, a, e kore hoki e kitea i ngā wā e heke iho nei.” Baha'u'llah. From a letter to Queen Victoria: “That which the Lord hath ordained as the sovereign remedy and mightiest instrument for the healing of all the world is the union of all its people in our universal Cause, one common Faith …” “That which hath been made manifest in this pre-eminent, this most exalted Revelation, stands unparalleled in the annals of the past, nor will future ages witness its like.” Baha'u'llah.
