GENERAL PUBLICATIONS

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.

Education is seen as a lifelong activity, and emphasis is therefore placed on the “foundations”—early childhood education, 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 considered 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 education the principle followed is the maximum devolution of authority and responsibility to the agencies and the community, 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 Commonwealth 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.)

FETTERED FREEDOM—A SYMBIOTIC SOCIETY OF ANARCHY
By B. L. Dallard
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
162 p. 1980 $8.95 plus p. and p.
In this book on penal sanctions Mr Dallard sets out the conclusions of a life time experience and a vast fund of knowledge. His historical survey of prisons and imprisonment of earlier times reveals the penal philosophy and the administrative practices which we now find appalling and intolerable. Mr Dallard’s comments on the controversial topics of homosexual behaviour and of capital and corporal punishment, both now abolished, are revealing and provocative.

FISHING METHODS AND DEVICES OF THE MAORI
By Elsdon Best
National Museum Bulletin No. 12
264 p. $15.95
Another in the series of the Best publications it has been reprinted without revision so that the basic studies may be accessible in the original style.

This particular bulletin still remains the only comprehensive account of most aspects of Maori fishing. The descriptions of methods employed in fishing given here are still quite basic for any future studies in this field since no first-hand observations can now be made. The detailed fishing methods outlined are accompanied by descriptions of the artifacts used, together with associated chants, magic formulae, special observances, and fishing lore.
