MARRIAGE GUIDANCE
Education For Family Life (N.Z. Press Association) AUCKLAND, Aug. 18. New Zealand is just at the beginning of a tremendous work in the area of the family, and education for family life should be firmly established in our education system, said the Minister of Justice (Mr J. R. Hanan) at Auckland yesterday. The Minister was opening a week-end conference on marriage guidance, attended by delegates from throughout the country. Mr Hanan said the community owed a great debt to marriage guidance counsellors. When in 1959 the Government decided to enter the field, it was decided to use selected, trained, and accredited voluntary workers. "Marriage counselling may well become a distinct profession, and the use of layworkers will cease. But this possibility is remote in our life-time," he said.
