CROWN COLONY GOVERNMENT IN NEW ZEALAND
By A. H. McLintock
475 p., illustrated. 1958. $4.50
This book, which deals with a little known and understood
period of New Zealand history, comprises three distinct
sections, first, the Coming of Sovereignty; secondly, Men and
Government; and thirdly, the Evolution of a Constitution.
While this book will be of special interest to New Zealanders
it will command a wider audience since it contains much that
is new with respect to British colonial policy in the first half
of the nineteenth century.

DIRECTIONS FOR EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
A REPORT PREPARED BY THE ADVISORY COUNCIL ON EDUCATIONAL
PLANNING
141 p. 1975. $2.50
This report marks the culmination of the activities of the
Educational Development Conference. The Advisory Council
has recommended the directions it considers New Zealand
education should go in the next 5 or 10 years.
Five principal areas are identified as requiring attention.
Education is seen as a lifelong activity, and emphasis is
therefore placed on the "foundations"—early childhood edu-
cation, the school curriculum and special provisions for
special needs, and parent education.
Special attention is given also to the relationship between
the school and the community, the need for close mutual
support and co-operation, including understanding and respect
for minority cultures.
A key to the quality of education is the people involved in
it. Teacher education, the availability of advisory and ancillary
staff, as well as resources for materials and research, have
a chapter devoted to them.
Since education is seen as a lifelong activity, this is con-
sidered at some length. Facets such as accessibility, transfer
of credits, and the role of existing institutions are discussed,
together with ways in which continuing education could be
provided for the whole community.
In discussing the administration and organisation of edu-
cation the principle followed is the maximum devolution of
authority and responsibility to the agencies and the com-
munity, as for instance, school committee and district level.

ECONOMICS OF THE NEW ZEALAND MAORI
By Raymond Firth
519 p. 1972. $8.75
The Maori people are honourably known far outside the
confines of their New Zealand home. Acknowledged to be
one of the finest of the native races within the British Com-
monwealth they have long been celebrated for their splendid
physical appearance, their proud bearing, their aristocratic
spirit, their fluent oratory and above all for their prowess in
war. This book contains an account of the social and economic
organisation of the Maori people before the organisation was
transformed by contact with Western civilisation. It is a
major scientific contribution to economic anthropology and
has now become a standard work.

EFFECTIVE DISCUSSION
52 p. $1.15
Although originally written for staff training purposes in
the Public Service, this booklet became popular with outside
organisations as a guide to the conduct of meetings. It
describes planning and organising both large and small
group discussions and contains many useful hints which will
help the discussion leader to get the best out of his group,
whether he is an old hand or a novice at leading discussions.
Also included are lists of books for further reading and
recommended films. (State Services Commission.)

creasing awareness of the need for environmental conserva-
tion. Series No. 19. (N.Z. Institute of Public Administration.)
