to them Ib a sort of get rich qu1ck arrange ment Many not all do rot seem to reallze that tne teaching profession In one of tne most serlous and responsible posltlons that man has established Do you voung man or young woman thmkmg of teachmg realize that you are to have the moldlng of from twenty to forty llttle lxyeso Your IUHU rce in many cases IS greater than the heme lnfiuence The chlldren are with you more hours than they are at home thelr mmds are Just now IH the most pl3StlC state Ju t stop to thmk of lt' And yet you wlll sm le to hear any one express hlmself in thxs way and you w1l1 go on preparing to make gooj salarles so that you may dress well and be looked up to Not all work for this selfi h end Aslde from the careles unthmkmg teacher the great faults of all this unbalanced condltlon are that there IS not umformlty in reoulrements for teachers and there IS not a demand for spec 1al17ed trammg As the standard IQ raised so wxll the capa bleness of the teachers be lmproxed and naturally the schools will be more capable I IS sald as IS the teacher so ls e school To provlde another means for certification o grammar school teachers prominent edu cators have suggested that dlplomas from a growlng sentlment toward dcmandmg that a grammar school teacher hold a high school dlploma He certainly should Helo It n And when thls standard has been set, t wlll soon be raised to demand a state normal dlIIl0IYl3 That would make the revision in our requrrenfents for grammar schools com plete Help 1t on bome have argued that hugh s hool trarmrg does nothing for the grammar school teacher Dld you eycr IIOIICP how a teacher wnh hugh sehool tralnlng takes up hrs work orderly sy tfmatlcally emphaslzlng the mam pomts and 0lI'l1ttlIlg the less lmportant for WhlCh there IS no tlme Can he not make hxstorv and geography more lIItQl'LbtlIlg lf ne has had speelallzed tl umnw' IH them If hc does not know any more than lns puplls has had no hlghertralnlng can he give them any new ldeas or thoughts' The grammar school teacher who has had only 1 few months ln crammlng school and then teaches from eleven to fifteen subyects cannot conduct his school ln the most effectlve way There should be tralnmgl Many puplls come from grammar school into the high school wxth llttle knowledge of the verb of the funda mental rules for spelllng and of punctuation rules As a result most of the best work IH the hlgh school the mspxratlonal work must be undeveloped ln the freshman year m order to teach these grammar school techmealltles It W1ll not be until thc grammar schcols are perfected not untll the grammar school teach ers ar b tter traxned and are given less work to do It will not be until then that the hlgh s hool may be perfected Ry demanding that every grammar school teacher shall hold at least a dlplcma from a first class hlgh school a great step wlll be taken in the rlght dlrec tion Note that I said a first class high school not one of the few in the state whxch have lntroduced non hlgh school work 111120 their courses th t 1 crammmg work but a first class hlgh school such as the Cala weras Hlgh School IS today But how are we to dlbtlllglll h a first class hlgh school from any other? In the hrst place the school must have at least three academlc teachers thos who teach academic subjects If there are only two academic teachers and one commerclal or other special teacher ln a the high school IS not first class The course of tudy must include fcur years of English ani four years of language Two of the years of language must be Latlll The other two may be Latm French German or Spanish This w1ll make up eight pomts or hours The remaining seven whlch are required for college entrance may be made up from mathematlcs hlstorv sc ence or commerclal branches Out of all these subjects the four years are made up but the first eight MUST be given By law here must be Hve forty mmute recltatlons or the equlvalent IH every subject each week In high school work the tlme of each recltatlon IS called a perlod It 1S easlly se n therefore that there can be no more than elght p rlods of work ear h dav No studer t should take more than four subjects coverlrg four perlods or posslbly fixe The rest of the perlods should be used for study In the high school adxancement does not depend wholly on ereammatron but rather on 4 J ', , 4: - - av - - 7 , .
