ADMINISTRATION IN NEW ZEALAND’S MULTI-RACIAL SOCIETY
Edited by R. H. Brookes and I. H. Kawharu

Race is a word which nowadays arouses strong feelings. In New Zealand there is little opposition in principle to the Government’s policy of integration, but its success depends on the skill with which it is implemented.

This volume of documents on the Australian - New Zealand Agreement of 1944—also known as the Canberra Pact—is the first of a planned series on New Zealand external relations.

BETWEEN GOVERNMENTS AND BANKS
By Dr Hawke
244 p. $6
The Reserve Bank of New Zealand was established in 1933-34 but today’s institution bears little resemblance to the one that was originally constructed by the 1933 legislation. The author, with a combination of historical and economic skill, covers the story and makes an assessment of the Bank’s performance to date. A valuable contribution to New Zealand’s historical record.

A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF PRINTED MAORI TO 1900
DOMINION MUSEUM MONOGRAPH No. 7
By Herbert W. Williams
222 p. 1975. $4.25
The most important collections of Maori books and pamphlets are mentioned in this bibliography. A short review has been made to trace the history of the various mission and other private presses concerned. Any work, however small, printed wholly in Maori, or in Maori with a translation has been included; so also has any work dealing wholly with the Maori language—such as a dictionary.

CONFERENCE ON STATE AID TO PRIVATE SCHOOLS
28 p. 45c
This is the report of a steering committee set up by the Conference on State Aid to Private Schools called by the Government in May 1973. The steering committee reported in November 1974 and the conference resumed on 4 December 1974. The report covers a wide range of issues on State aid but in particular it sets out detailed proposals for the integration of private schools into the State system. These proposals were put together by a working party representative of private and State school interests and are under consideration by Government.

CONSERVING NEW ZEALAND HERITAGE
By P. H. C. Lucas
94 p. 1970. 90c
In 1969 Mr Lucas went on a study tour of national parks and allied areas in Canada and the United States. On his return to New Zealand he wrote this report as a suggested guideline for national parks and reserves administrators. Many of the problems experienced by older countries could be avoided by a careful study of their mistakes and with this in mind Mr Lucas has concluded each section with a summary of lessons for New Zealand. Not only of interest to the general public but also to park administrators and planners, tourist promoters, historians, and archaeologists.
