The National Anthem was then sung, and the pupils [dispersed after cheering Father Walter, their master, and the visitors,

THE "TIMES" AND THE MAO HIS.

THE " Times," in the course of a leading article on the recent native trouble of this colony, makes Homo remarks which atone period would have roused a great deal of comment and not a little contradiction. The "Jupiter oi the Press" speaks thus: "The Maori, like every other primitive race, is doomed to gradual extinction before the march of races whose right to exist and pre vail is so indefeasible in itself that it docs not need to be enforced by injustice, greed, or oppression," If we analyse this oracular utterance we discover in it three diatinct factors, each of which may be discussed separately. The first i=, "All primitive races are doomed to extinction," So sweep ing a statement is hardly accurate, for the negroes may fairly be called a " primitive race," and there is every evidence that they will coutinuc to increase as they have done during historic times. The second factor if, "the Maori is doomed to extinction." This is a very summary solution of a knotty question, and as to its truth or otherwise we do not pronounce an opinion. Ap pearances, as they have' done for many long years, are all in favour of the dictum of the " Times," But if the day is coming when the last of the Maoris will have found his final resting place, it , must bo remembered that his race never had a fair chance. The vices of civilization reached them before its virtues. The .off scourings of society taught them, docile and tractable pupils certainly, all the devilry they themselves were cursed with. Ihe missionary came after, but the evil waa alieady engrained so deeply that the. lessons oi half a century have not eradi cated it. What the result would have 1 been had the intercourse of the European with the Maori been of a happier character, I hadtho latter got anything like fair and honourable treatment from the former, it is of course impossible to say; but it is likely ' that another story, having a totally different ending, would have to be told. 1 " What might have been " is usually a profitless sort of enquiry, and since we arc skirting roind the edges of problems ; which puzzle the wisest, we take up the third portion of the deliverance of the great oracle, viz., " the inde feasible right of the white man to exist and prevail." This is a fine-sounding sentiment, the sort of nattering unction which the youthful debater lays to his soul as, pleasantly excited by the fluency with which the sentences run off his tongue, he i gazes round on the nascent philosophers and budding gennises of the mutual im provement class. But it is a trifle out of place in the columns of the "leading journal." It sounds grandiose, American, " jingoish." We may perhaps admit the "indefeasible right" of Gladstones, or Carlyles, or Garlields, to exist and prevail, , or even the writers of "Times" leading articles, but when we come to the class with whom the Maori has to associate we feel somewhat sceptical. The vendor of i grog, the average storekeeper of a frontier town, the pakeba-Maori, the land-shark, ct hoc genus omne, we would rather see ruled than ruling. Aright to exist they have, and so has the unfortunate Maori, but none whatever to prevail But what constitutes the right of one nation to prevail over another 2 It would require a volume to dis cuss this question at length, but casting a rapid glance over the domain of history, it would seem that the "right" has most times consisted in brute force, superior cunuing, and the longest purse. These have been the means which have .secured the victory for successful nations like the Israelites, the Romans, the Huns and Vandals, the Ureek«, and the English. But they are means which will scarcely bear examination, and which, in the opinion of those who love justice and righteousness, cannot bo considered by any juggle to confer a "right."

THE SETTING OF EXAMINATION PAPERS.

(To the Editor.) Sin,—l have just obtained asetef the last Dis trict Scholarships examination papers. On looking themover I was struck with the carc leua way in which some of them appear to have bean drawn up. Ido not know who seta thelpapers; this is always kept a profound seoret. In the Sbakspearo paper ihe last quea tioniu: " la what plays do Polonious, Gonorll, Helena, Cordelia, and Laertes appear ? Men tion what seems to you the leading character istic ot eaoh." The candidates might well bs puzzled as to whether they were to mention the leading oharaoterlstio oC each pi&T, or of each perEonage mentioned above. I leave your readers to decide what the candidates ought to have dons. The question that arises is whether a candidate who gave the wrong answer ts the second part of this truly ambiguous question would receive any marks (lor euoh an answer, la the geography paper we have ton demand i "Explain now springs are found*" What does this mean? Are the candidates to explain how a thirsty man in a desert is to find a apjing I or how a farmer in New Zealand is to examine hia land to find a good place for a well? Ihe de mand is vague and unintelligible. Tfte candidates are required to learn places of political, commer cial and historical importance in Asia and North America. Not a placoin eitherof these oontlnenta is asked for in the paper, yet, on the other hand, there is noihing about springs in lh» syllabus of subjects. In the Hi6tory paper, question* reaflg: " Why was the renlnsula War undertaken by KnKland?' thould not this bo "Peninsular War"? Question G mentions the "Maories" In the toit-boak used by the candidate* this word ia spolt" Maoris.
