He entered the House of Representatives as its youngest member. He retired before the election in 1977 as its longest serving member. It was extraordinary career.

Report on the Future of Graylands Teachers College
Based on the recommendation of the Partridge Report that Graylands Teachers College, Western Australia, be phased out, an inquiry concerning the future of the college was undertaken. Graylands was the second teachers college in Western Australia when it was established in 1955. The following areas are addressed: background of the college, the immediate problem, the rights and interests of staff, and the mechanics of phasing out Graylands. It is recommended that Graylands Teachers College and use of the college site be phased out by the end of 1979 and that Churchlands and Mount Lawley Teachers Colleges absorb as many as possible of the Graylands resources (other than buildings), staff, and students, and that Claremont Teachers College absorb any Graylands resources, staff, and student numbers that cannot be otherwise accommodated. Additional recommendations are offered, and statistical data are appended. (SW)

Among the patriots who joined the colors were thousands of schoolmasters and trainee teachers. In London, students and alumni from the London Day Training College left their classrooms and took the king’s shilling.

Great Grandma's Guidelines to Prevent Childhood Accidents
The purpose of this book is to bring about a general community awareness of ALREADY KNOWN CONTRIBUTING FACTORS and PRECAUTIONS that can be taken to prevent the constant re-occurrence of PREDICTABLE childhood accidents that occur to children aged from 0 to 14 years of age. PREVENTION is BETTER than CURE - SOMETIMES there is NO CURE When a baby is born, the parents are not magically bestowed with "all the knowledge and skills of child rearing". This has to be learned. "NOT the HARD WAY by TRIAL and ERROR" Rearing children in such a way can lead to a child having to pay a very high price for his learning experience and the Carer' at the time of the accident become deeply affected by feelings of regret and sorrow. It makes more sense for parents to FIND OUT BEFORE rather than AFTER an accident has occurred the precautions they could have taken. IF ONLY THEY HAD KNOWN.
75 Years Aloft: Royal Australian Air Force Air Training Corps: Australian Air Force Cadets, 1941-2016
This book celebrates 75 years of Air Force cadet activity in Australia, 1941-2016. The organisation has had a tremendous impact upon the lives of tens-of-thousands of Australians over our 75 year history. Since 1982 it has enhanced the lives of young women as well as men. The book begins in WWII with the need to pre-train capable and committed "keen lads". Over 30,000 Australian boys were air cadets 1941-1945 with almost 13,000 going on to active service in the war. Air Force cadets survived into peacetime to become an aviation focussed youth development organisation, providing flying training in a military atmosphere with the aim of inspiring cadets to join the RAAF. There are currently over 8,000 Air Force cadets and adult staff around Australia. Aviation centred youth development in a RAAF service environment remains our central focus.
