Various motives and ambitions have attracted the young people of Michigan to our college. Let us concern ourselves with only those who are seriously preparing to enter the teaching profession. There are any number of ideas prevalent concerning the qualities a teacher should possess. No one can have all of these, for human characteristics do not permit us to fully attain the ideals set before us. Never- theless, the degree of perfection we attain is gained by striving constantly toward definite goals which we believe the ideal teacher possesses. The teachers of the past furnish excellent examples to help us determine those qualities for which we must work. The attainment of one of these leads us on to the next and keeps us ever fresh and happy. We honor the teacher who : 1. Knows his subject thoroughly. 2. Knows something besides his sub- ject. 3. Understands human nature.
