A GOOD TEACHER WILL ALWAYS BE YOUNG Teaching is a serious business be- cause the teacher is deahng with the most valuable of the human products. The teacher gets a new group of children each year. 1 his group is turned over to the teacher with the utmost confidence. In many cases the parent does not re- alize what the school is able to do for the child. The child comes to the school as a growing mass of energy ready to burst forth in any activity which is offered. If a real program is set up in which there is freedom and social environment the child will just naturally grow so as to satisfy both parent and teacher. The child of today must be recognized as a rare individual because he comes into the world when such great progress has been made that the teaching force has had no chance to make adjust- ments. People do not live and think as they did twenty years ago. The teacher must be ready to grasp the many social changes as they appear. The rapid change almost forces a change in the teacher so as to meet the new child. These changes of course do not change the original child nature but they do make very rapid changes in the environment. This causes the child to react in a different way. The teacher must always be young in his way of thinking. Of all persons the teacher must keep his mind youthful when the time comes for accepting changes in our social and physical environment. If the teacher does not recognize and accept these changes he will cease to function as a leader of chil- dren because they will not be stim- ulated by one who has not kept up to date in his thinking. 2uCtL ax U ADMINISTRATION » 12 «
