TANNEHILL Miss RUTH WEIMER c. O WIDDOES WALTER W. WRIGHT RUSSELL B. ZEPP Here, grouped together, are the teachers. A mere handful of men and women entrusted with casting a whole schoolfull of highly plastic material. High-school student is a term describing a well known branch of humanity. But students do not fit so easily into a hide-bound category-the branch divides, sub-divides, splits up until it is evident that each student has problems and peculiarities distinctly his own. To understand the seething mass of adolescence that is a high school, understand it as a whole while simultaneously understanding its individuals, is the task of the teacher. Dealing with easily molded youth is no simple job, anything may make an impression -care must be exercised to concentrate on good impressions. To obliterate as much as possible of the time-worn breach between the teacher sitting stiffly on his throne of knowledge and the student sitting more or less humbly at his feet goes a great way in enabling teacher and student to understand each other. The greater part of the task, however, falls to the teacher, requiring subtlety, tact, technique, abandoning the role of taskmaster and artfully enticing the responsive stu- dent on to greater heights. A student usually comes to school because someone de- manded that he do so. At school he places himself at the mercy of the teacher. If the teacher is worthy of the name he will recognize the unpolished abilities lying unclaimed in his pupil, then discover the best approach, introduce the student to his abilities and urge him gently but firmly onward and upward. This is the ideal teacher, the master. Then he may sit back and watch the development of his handiwork, watch the student gain initiative and progress steadily under his own power toward greater things. As time goes on the student perhaps looks at his beginnings and recognizes the force that set him in motion. A teacher must not expect immediate results, for the measure of a master is his success in bringing men around to his views years later. 16
