488 SUGGESTIONS FOR THE IMPROVEMENT 
it may be desirable to allude only to a few of the 
most important. 
It would be desirable to keep registers at all the 
stations, containing lists of the natives frequenting 
them, their names, and that of the tribe they 
belong to. 
Natives should not be allowed to leave their own 
districts, to go to Adelaide, or other large towns, 
unless under passes from their respective protectors, 
and if found in Adelaide without them, should be 
taken up by the police and slightly punished.* 
Deaths, Births, and Marriages, should be duly 
registered, and a gratuity given on every such occa- 
sion, to ensure the regulation being attended to. 
Rewards should be given, (as an occasional pre- 
sent, of a blanket for instance), to such parents as 
allowed their children to go to and remain at 
school during the year. 
Rewards should be bestowed for delivering up 
* Natives, from a distance, are in the habit of going at cer- 
tain times of the year into Adelaide, and remaining three or four 
months at a time. They are said by Europeans to plunder sta- 
tions on the line of route backwards and forwards, and to 
threaten, and intimidate women and children living in isolated 
houses [near the town. There is no doubt but that they have 
sometimes driven away the natives properly belonging to Ade- 
laide, and have been the means, by their presence, of a great 
decrease in the attendance of the children of the Adelaide tribes 
at the school. The protector has more than once been obliged 
to make official representations on this subject, and to request 
that measures might be taken to keep them away.
