113 GOVERNMENT OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA DEPARTMENT OF NATIVE AFFAIRS (letterhead) Place Date After all, we wish these natives to be absorbed into the white race, therefore they must from babyhood be trained in the habits of white people, and I think you will agree with me, that, that is one of the first things that parents of families who are worth while instil into their children. We may not ourselves agree with Religious training where grown ups are concerned, but in the early training of children it certainly helps a lot, and as we are here to do what we conceive to be the best thing for these people, we should not neglect to give them what we have found to be a great help to ourselves. From another point of view - All these Colleges and Institutions at the present day insist on Sunday Observance - this is the only place where it is not carried out - so if all these other places find it necessary surely they can't all be wrong. And again these are halfcastes not full bloods and we are trying to uplift them - sometimes I wonder - are we. Yours faithfully Acting Matron D. Gregory.
