If Moses had been an instructor ….

Abstract

A teacher in a technical college had allowed himself to become involved in an argument with an apprentice on day release from our Company Training Workshop. The apprentice quoted one of our instructors in support of his theory, and the teacher replied: I'm not interested in what your instructors say. They're not qualified anyhow. What he meant, of course, was that our instructors were not in possession of teaching diplomas or degrees; and in that he was right. What he overlooked was the fact that the word qualified, correctly defined, means competent in or fitted for a certain duty. Our instructors were indeed so qualified.
