TEACHERS AND THE WAR
The tone of yesterday’s discussion by the conference of the New Zealand Educational Institute on the national war effort is welcome as a promising indication of the awakening of the public’s consciousness to the real nature and implications of the conflict. There is encouragement for the future when people begin to ask themselves whether they are doing enough by way of service and sacrifice. As one speaker at the conference remarked, the successful prosecution of the war was even more important than alleviating hardships because to lose the war would mean far worse hardships. Members of the teaching profession, scattered as they arc all over the country, arc admirably placed and fitted to represent the facts of the position to the households with whom they are in constant contact in the course of their duties. Ibey will render a valuable service to their country and to the cause, therefore, if they carry the sentiments expressed at the conference to their various districts and the homes of the people.
