Teachers serve as an essential link between the pupil and his mastery of sub- ject material. In the candid photographs which accompany the faculty portraits on these pages, this role ot the teacher is dramatized. Reciting lessons before fellow classmates and instructors gives the pupil an oppor- tunity to test his knowledge while he gains poise in speaking to groups. An alternative to such formal presentation is the group dis- cussion where the teacher creates a casual atmosphere to invite the tree expression ot everyone's ideas. Laboratories, sewing classes, shops, and similar workshop sessions not only provide direct Contact with learning, but also knit closer teacher-pupil relations. Law, and Salesmanship: Benjamin B.
