1925 - Bright Prospects

I joined the full time staff of the Christchurch Technical College in 1925 and remained there until my departure for Peru in the middle of 1927. In 1925 I gained Diplomas in both Education and Social Sciences and was appointed lecturer in Social Sciences by the University Extension Scheme known as the Workers Educational Association and assigned to deliver evening lectures at Leeston once a week. This involved travelling to Leeston by bus after school, spending the night at the home of one of the students, who took this duty by turn, and returning to Christchurch the next morning. On the whole my prospects of advancement in New Zealand looked bright indeed.
