The second fallacy-the traditional one-is that teachers are cold and impersonal taskmasters, or, in somecases, cruel Simon Legreesn who enjoy torturing the young mind either to enhance their own efficiency records, or to satisfy their sense of authority.

Although familiar with all the methods of education, past and present, everyone of these fiftyfsix teachers looks upon each Lorain High graduate as an individual problem with the mysterious X still unsolved, or as a book with many pages still unread. Why? Because pupils are not puppets, or things, as the mass production critics have so illogically asf sumed. They are human beings.

It is natural to desire success-teachers wish their pupils to learn, it is instinctive for older persons to protect the young-teachers are anxious to lead in the paths of safety, it is human to enjoy appreciation-and teachers consider it their greatest compensation to be remembered kindly by their former students. The day of Mark Hopkins, James A. Garfield, and their log has passed. The modern high school, however, has ref tained the essential factor in their relationship-the spirit of friendly cofoperation between teacher and pupil.
