| Summary: | In this article some of the problems of the Australian aborigines are discussed in relation to present government and mission policies toward them. The author feels that many groups of the aborigines, at least, can be approached through their own languages and that this is necessary to meet their needs. Many readers outside of Australia will recognize parallels in the relation between majority and minority groups in their own areas. Today, many old and perplexing problems are being drawn out of the dust of prejudice to be re-examined in the light of modern research. One of these relates to the Australian aborigines and is extracted for re-study from the host of problems connected with these people. It is the question of approach in mission and education. |
