Local Groups Have Helped

Local organisations have been of much assistance to the group; for example, the Federation of University Women has run a coaching service for secondary school pupils, while Rotary, working together with the Maori Club at Victoria University, assisted the committee to send post-primary school pupils to Wellington on an educational tour. (This was one of several educational tours which the Committee has organised for post-primary school pupils.)

The very considerable and significant work being done by the Whanganui Educational Advancement Committee shows that when members of the Maori community become aware of the problems facing the younger generation, they have proved most effectively that these problems can be overcome.

A bronze statue of a Maori warrior will soon welcome visitors to Auckland.

The statue, which will be ten feet high, has been ordered by the city council and will be placed on a high pedestal opposite the Chief Post Office facing the sea.

It will be the work of Miss Molly Macalister, one of the country's best sculptors.
