Paraparaumu Seminar

District Welfare Officers attended a seminar at Paraparaumu last October, to discuss future welfare policy. As Mr J. M. McEwen said, there has been a shift in emphasis from purely land matters to social work as well as lands and titles work, and with the establishment of the Maori Education Foundation and trade training schemes, the field of social work has recently expanded.

The seminar was officially opened by the Hon. J. R. Hanan. Senior departmental officers joined in the discussions, and a South African, Mr D. Boardman, of the School of Social Science, attended as a guest. Pictured below are, standing: Messrs H. Pou, M. Raureti, H. Rogers, A. Baker, W. Herewini, K. Puohotaua, Miss A. Delamere, Messrs R.
