EDUCATION NOT SELF-SEEKING.
During the course of an. address at Te Kuiti recently, Bishop Averill referred to education. In this country, he feared, we had a rather narrow idea oi education, and it was a true education that would serve best to restrain the forces of anarchy. The Bishop expressed the deepest sympathy with the State • school teachers, who had a difficult duty to perform, and whose position should be improved very materially. He strongly contested the view that education should cause our children to be shaped into a. single mould, and that the State system could not ba improved. Variety in education was an excellent thing. He felt that
the time was coining when, side by side with the State schools, Church schools should be established. There were, in fact, same already. The essential matter was that the boys and girls should be made to realise that there was something- else in lif? than self-seeking , . It was in that way that the generations of the future would be better educated th&n those of <the past.
