‘TEACHER’ PRAISED
‘Lesson For World’
CIV.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) NEW YORK. Sept. 8. A full-page leading review' in the “New York Times” today described "Teacher.” by the New Zealand author, Sylvia Ashton-Warner, as a unique, vital and refreshing book. The reviewer, Katharine Taylor, said that "Teacher” was a lesson for all the world to study as taught in a New Zealand school. On the surface the book was a record of Miss Ash-ton-Warner’s 24 years in an infant school for both Maoris and whites. Yet it was more than that.
‘‘lt is a vivid journal of incidents, personalities, sudden moments of insight and a philosophy of education which emerges through reflection upon experiences. “It should have great value not only for those interested in the problems of education in old cultures and new nations, but also for those concerned with the future of civilisation—for all, anywhere, who live and work with children,” the reviewer said.
