Flop?

Sir,—I notice, with some interest, that the careers supplement carried no advertisement for secondary teaching. This is hard to reconcile with the emphasis that Dr. Sutch put on education in his foreword.

It is possible that the Education Department put forward their current advertising poster and this was neglected because it was grossly misleading. This poster, featuring Mr. Kinsella's stern visage and some salary scales, was recently the subject of an attack by the Labour Party in the House. They claimed that it was dishonest in the extreme.

If those responsible for the careers supplement did in fact, refuse the poster, let me congratulate them. A prominent college in Wellington recently made such a splendid stand. If, on the other hand, no advertisement was put forward, can this be taken as an admission that the poster was misleading, and that the National Government recruitment drive has misfired badly?
