[1] THE IDEAL VILLAGE

{The conclusion of the speech by Reweti Kohere in 1897, printed in Numbers 47 and 49.)

If the business of horse racing was only a matter of horses running and not of drunkenness, gambling and theft, I would urge setting up a racing club in the Ideal Village. I have said that the Maori are a people who want to play, therefore let us think of some proper and good recreations in order to bring an end to their sad occupations and to get people together.

THE IDEAL VILLAGE

(The continuation of the speech by Reweti Kohere in 1897, printed in Number 47.)

Maori mothers do not know very well how to bring up their children; they do not correct the wrong habits of their children while they are small, and they do not teach them to respect their elders. Rather, the Maori believe that the way to show their love for their children is to give them whatever they want and to permit the children to do whatever they wish to. When the children grow up, the parents marvel at the sulkiness and the obstinacy of their children.

CHRISTMAS

To the Editor of Te Pipiwharauroa.

Friend, greetings to you who makes our bird to go. Best wishes in this great enterprise of ours. May God guard you. Enough for my greetings.

Friend, these are a few words to be loaded onto that bird to be carried to all the marae on the island and as far as Te Waipounamu. Teira Tiakitai and his younger brother Mohi Mohiteatahikoia along with their younger sisters summoned a Christmas gathering here.
