Mr Anton Vogt
PA Auckland Anton Vogt, a prominent and sometimes controversial New Zealand educationist, died in France on Sunday. He was 70. Throughout the 1940 s and 1950 s Mr Vogt, an English lecturer at Wellington Teachers’ College, was a prolific contributor to newspapers and the editor of ’“National Education.” He published five volumes of his own poetry, dozens of short stories, and one play. His English lectures were attended by such notable
New Zealand writers as James K. Baxter, Alistair Campbell and Barry Mitcalfe. One of his books from this period, “English for Teachers,” is still used as a text book. Mr Vogt left New Zealand in a blaze of publicity in 1960 and subsequently taught at the American University in Beirut and at the Simon Fraser University in Canada. He retired to Menton, France, in 1975. He is survived by his second wife, three sons, and three daughters.
