sheet, profit statement, and notes comply with the Trustee Savings
Banks' Act 1948, and that they give a true and fair view of the
state of affairs of the bank as at 31 March 1980, and of the
results of its business for the year ended on that date. We have
also examined the statement of changes in the financial position
which, in our opinion, gives a true and fair view of the changes in
financial position of the bank for the year ended 31 March 1980.

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.

CONSERVING NEW ZEALAND'S HERITAGE
By P. H. C. Lucas

94 p. 1970. $1.40

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.

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.
