Pretentious buildings, exten- sive curricuiums, well-equipped laboratories and libraries, and spacious athletic fields are insufficient unless the es- sential element of sound teaching is present. An admin- istrator realizes the processes by which culture is evoked to he so subtle and intangible that the ability of the teach- ing staff members is of paramount importance. The modern teacher can no longer discharge his daily duties by instructing four or five classes in some specialized subject. His charges must be more than students of Eng- lish, science, mathematics, or mechanics. A wise teacher is cognizant of all aspects of 21 students education within his jurisdiction. He is at least partially responsible for their health, social and moral standards, future plans as well as intellectual achievement. Teachers are expected to cooperate with their colleagues in guiding intelligent and ambitious students to evaluate and practice wholesome citizenship, to meet economic de- mands, to learn the use of leisure time, to develop religious tolerance, and to create worthy home-memhership. In addition to academic competence instructors must he prompt in routine duties, wise in the representation of school policies, progressive in specialized research, and leaders in community relationships. Such standards and accomplishments alone justify their retention as teachers. i161

Our scholastic them admit itwthat teachers cramp their style tundoubtedly there,s something to itl. What do you lllitlk?,, ' There seems always to have been a feeling like that among some students; but remember that back of all our enterprises we find a select few who are devoting their entire lives to ideals and whose de- sire lies in seeing young people benefited by their These luhers, and many times by their sacrifices. I171 W e are reminded that progress is up to us, but in order achievement and ideals depend upon them. to attain it the faculty has placed before us oppor- tunity for our projects. It has encouraged Hus toward constructive effort, and it has taught us to believe that constructive performance justifies the opportunity of reasonable reward and that the re- ward will live indefinitely and as a result we shall grow in ability, knowledge and personality.
