THE TRUE TEACHER
HIGHLY IMPORTANT CALLING PLACE IN CHANGING WORLD <Peb United Press Association) WELLINGTON, Dec. 5. The high calling of the true teacher in a changing world was briefly surveyed by the Minister of Education, Mr H. G. R. Mason, speaking at the closing ceremony of the Wellington Training College. "We have progressed in mechanical knowledge," he said, "and have advanced in scientific theories, but none of these has brought the Golden Age. nor does it appear to be doing so." Mr Mason said he regarded the teacher as the most important person in the world, hot because of any inherent superiority, but because of the vital part he played in moulding the future of the nation.
"I hope you realise that the future of our race depends upon your work," he said. "Upon your efforts depends not only what you personally attain in life, but the advancement of the whole nation."
