H-41 I-rl: lives' 15 ' H 777 The Faculty While the fundamental laws of this country beckoned the respective states to provide for general education in order to insure stability of government, the progress made during the first one hundred years of our country's history, in the development of schools, was not very startling. A pioneering people, as were our forefathers, could 't not have been expected to organize any one line ,of endeavon very much above the others, even though they recognized fully and early the value of universal education 'P for a self-governing people like ours. Until about the opening of the present century, teaching school was not even included in what might be considered life vocations. Two drawbacks were largely respoi sible for that condition. Low wages for part time employment made of the teaching a- profession a veritable stepping stone to something apparently better. When to this '-A you add the uncertainty of tenure, it is not surprising that so many teachers decided to enter more promising and more stable pursuits. When school began to minister to the individual pupil instead of to a group of ' pupils differing in mental attainments and in mental calibre, a real step in the right -. direction was made. To-day, no institution which claims to prepare men and women . , for the teaching profession, fails to train these people in testing mental abilities and in making proper diagnoses of individual cases. In other words, not only is the art of teaching being stressed, but the adaptation of material to fit the individual, invites a Q Q teacher's best efforts. It is plain, to thinking people, that higher salaries stimulated by a ll ' low-purchasing power of the dollar, can not alone be responsible for elevating the ' profession of teaching, that every real teacher remains in service to-day because she is better prepared and because she feels that she can guideproperly individual pupils 'il 5 in worth-while lines and without serious loss of time. fs? vii, B25 .Za ,fl ali gp? it iii .35 HSE?- , :flag Thirteen 'ii 'ffl' is
