Te Pipiwharauroa 125

Te Pipiwharauroa 125

No. 125
1908/08


[1] Te Pipiwharauroa, He Kupu Whakamarama, Number 125, Gisborne,

‘As clouds deck the heavens, so feathers enable the bird to fly.’ [cf. Nga Pepeha 352 but also He Konae Aronui p.13]

‘KUI! KUI! WHITIWHITIORA.’ [The cry of the shining cuckoo.]

Te Aute College.

Most of our words about agriculture last month were directed at Te Aute College. We said that the reason why agriculture was not in favour when we were at Te Aute was that we were not encouraged to consider agriculture, and the great thing we wanted was to get Pakeha knowledge so that we could occupy the positions of the Pakeha.
