TEACHER’S WORK
MINISTER’S SPEECH. WELLINGTON. December 5. The high calling of'the true teacher in the changing world was briefly surveyed by the Education Ministei (Hon. H. G. R. Mason), speaking at the closing ceremony of the Wellington Training College. “We have progressed in mechanical knowledge and have advanced scientific theories, but none of these has brought the Golden Ag;e, nor does it appear to be doing so,” he said. He regarded the teacher as the most important person in the world, not because of any inherent superiority, but because of the vital part he played in moulding the future of the nation. “I hope you realise the future of our race depends upon your work. Upon your efforts depends not only what you personally attain in life, but the advancement of the whole nation.’ ’ . ~ :
