Again the forty-some teachers of this insti- tution through the past thirty-nine weeks have tried to lead the more than one thousand stu- dents into paths of better understanding and added knowledge. The task, as before, hasn't been easy. Almost every student, however, has imprint- ed upon his mind one or more incidents that he has enjoyed with his teacher. Each teacher. likewise. will remember these faces for a long time to come. This is what made going to school a pleasure and not a drudgery. A new counselor to the students, but the renewal of old acquaintance for the faculty, was the new English teacher, Miss Marion lnkster, a graduate of this school in 1933. It has been said that a teacher doesn't and can't make a pupil learn. The student can only listen to what the instructor has to say or illustrate and then grasp the problem for himself. Seldom, therefore, does the teacher stand over each pupil trying by authority to drive knowledge into the learner's skull. Instead, there is a trend toward classroom democracy, with the teacher doing the guiding, but the pupil working to accomplish the actual learn- ing himself. That is the way the job of teaching' is run at Kankakee High, where the chief aim of the teaching corps is to prepare every bov and girl for good citizenship and satisfying living.
