THE CLAY IS EVERYWHERE By Charles B. Roth One day not long ago I stood in front of the marvelous Lorado Taft Statuary group in the Chicago Art Institute, a group of lovely human figures that had arisen boldly out of a block of solid marble, part of which still encased them. And I thought that once this block was a shapeless mass of marble. Now it was a masterpiece of shape and, beauty. And I thought of the reply of another sculptor who, when asked how he managed to create masterpieces, replied simply, The clay is everywhere--all I need is time. And then the further thought came: This is the case of every teacher. Around her every day is the Clay of human greatnessg the boys and girls whose lives are entrusted to her. What will she make of them? Will they become great scholars, leaders, artists ? Some unquestionably will but, let us face it, more will not. But because of her teaching and her training of them, they can all become greater than if it were not for her. Thus, to me the challenge of teaching becomes greater than the challenge of a block of marble to a sculptor. He deals with insensate things. The teacher deals with sensate human beings each with infinite possibilities to become a masterpiece of living. I do not suppose that the sculptor Taft, laying aside his chisel at the completion of his masterpiece, stepping away from it a little way, regarding it partly with criticism but mostly with the affection that comes from long associationg took more satisfaction in his creation than a teacher, watching her class leave her for the last time, knowing that into each life something finer has been built than the lines on a marble statue. l SCHOOL BOARD LEFT TO RIGHT: Ernest I-Iohrnan, Vice-Pres- ABOVE: The retiring Mr. Brose is being identg Raymond Mathias, Paul Bouillon, Clerkg congratulated by the president, Harold Clouse, Raymond Theisg Harold Clouse, Presidentg for his sixteen years of service to the New Gerald Boes, newly elected memberg William Riegel Schools as a school board member.
