TEACHER’S CALLING
MOST IMPORTANT IN WORLD. MINISTER ADDRESSES STUDENTS. (By Telegraph —Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. The high calling of a true teacher in a changing world was briefly surveyed by the Education Minister (MiMason), in speaking at the closing ceremony of the Wellington Training College. “We have progressed in mechanical knowledge and in the advance of scientific theories,” said Mr Mason, “but none of these have brought the Golden Age, nor does it appear to be doing so.” He said that he regarded the teacher as the most important person in the world, not because of any inherent superiority, but because of the vital part ho played in moulding the future of the nation. ' “I hope you realise,” ho said, "that the future of our race depends upon your work. Upon you)’ efforts depends not only what you personally attain in life, but the advancement of the whole nation."
