WOMEN TEACHERS
An address entitled "Education, the Hope of the World," was given by Miss Magill, immediate past president of the New Zealand Educational Institute, to members of the Women Teachers' Association. The speaker traversed the educational movements in progressive countries, and . deplored the economies in New Zealand which must inevitably leave us far behind other modern systems. The cumulative effects of the exclusion of the five-year-olds were stressed, and members were urged lo study the problem as it concerned both children and teachers. The increase of unemployment among the latter certainly had been one of the results of the exclusion legislation. Under present conditions, it was difficult to keep ideals bright, but the question would soon have to be faced: "Can we afford to economise in education?" At the conclusion of Miss Magill's address the president, Miss Sylvia Andrews, welcomed the overseas teachers present, and as a memento of their stay in Auckland, presented each with a copy of an Auckland Sketch Book. Supper brought an enjoyable function to an end.
