'I have now only to add a few remarks on what I conceive ought to be the general management of the Aborigines, and 1 think in reference to this they should be divided into classes.

1st Class. - All full-blooded Aborigines, partially or wholly ignorant of the laws of civilization, and all the infirm and aged; all of whom should be managed in a purely paternal manner.

2nd Class. - All others above a certain age, on being admitted to the station, should be required to sign an agreement with the superintendent to obey all his lawful orders .

3rd Class. - Which may be called the Educational Class, would of course be composed of the youths of both sexes. I think this class should be so educated that as they arrive at a sufficient age they could be sent into the world to compete for employment with the white population, the station never being closed against them in periods of distress or sickness.

Under some such system as I have sketched, I do not think it would be too much to anticipate, and that at no very remote period that the necessity for a Board might cease; but I do fear that unless the grown-up half-castes are made to feel their personal responsibility to a greater extent than I think they do at present, and unless the young are taught that they will have to battle for their living the same as white people, some future Board for the Protection of the Aborigines will have to deal with a vagabond race only distinguishable from the whites in that they will be lower sunk in depravity that the basest of those whites.'
