FORTY-EIGHT YEARS A TEACHER Miss Linda H. Bahr, popular English teacher at this high school for the last six- teen years, is retiring this semester from the teaching profession. She has taught school continuously, at various institu- tions in Michigan for forty-eight years. Her departure will be a distinct loss to the school and to all who knew her. ' Miss BAHR A TRIBUTE TO THE TEACHERS Mr. Herbert Hoover, past President of the United States, once paid the following tribute to the teaching profession, printed here in part: The public school teacher . . . is peculiarly a public character under the most searching scrutiny of watchful and critical eyes. His life is an open book. His habits are known to all. His office, like that of a minister of religion, demands of him an exceptional standard of conduct. And how rarely does a teacher figure in a sensational headline in a news- paper! It is truly remarkable, I think, that so vast an army of people-approximately 800,000 -so uniformly meets its obligations, so effec- tively does its job, so decently behaves itself, as to be almost utterly inconspicuous in a sensation-loving country. It implies wealth of character, of tact, of patience, of quiet compe- tence, to achieve such a record as that. The best teaching is not done out of a book . . . but out of life: and I am sure that measured by this standard, it will be agreed that American teaching has been marvelously productive. Eleanor M.
