Editorial The country wants better teachers, and this demand will become more insistent as time goes on. The shortage of teachers of the last few years occasioned a lower- ing of the standards in some schools, since many young people who had just gradu- ated from high schools were accepted as teachers. At the beginning of this year, however, there was a large increase in the number entering the normal schools, so that superintendents and committees will be able to demand better quality. It's this matter of quality which is at present the cause for great concern. We use the word advisedly, for it fairly expresses that which we look for in the ideal teacher, who may be aptly designated as a uquality product, as conforming with the keynote of modern business. A quality productt' must measure up to a definite standard, which may be designated on the label or in other advertising by the company. Let us use as an example Hood's Grade A milk. Through advertising, this milk has attained a reputation as the only milk for babies and the best grade for adults. lt contains a nxed per cent of fat and other nutritious elementsg it is guaranteed to be fresh, clean, and properly sterilized. ln other words, it is made up of the best materials and is in the best condition possible. it is the producerfs business to see that this milk measures up to the standard at all times. There are certain standards in education to which the superintendents and committees of the diiferent towns and cities are trying to elevate the schools. The teacher as the most important factor of the schools, must see to it that he approaches these standards as nearly as possible. At the present time, a certain portion of the public realizes that these standards have not been as high as they should have been and that the coming generation must be educated to different standards. The individual, too, often realizes the inade- quacy of his knowledge of life's duties and so feels that he has been unjustly treated either because of the teacher's failure or his own, to make the most of opportunities. He Ends, for instance, that he would be able to accept a position as secretary to his employer if he had a sufhcient command of English, or perhaps he feels a desire to become an expert accountant because of a friend's success in a similar position, but because of his inability to do arithmetical combinations quickly and accurately, he must sacrifice his hope. Especially during war times, when the army tests were applied, did the man realize his lack of proper training along some line, either physical or mental. At that time, too, when some of the most efficient men were sent to war, business men tried to fill the vacancies. They soon discovered the inability of the younger generation to do this work satisfactorily. We have all heard stories similar to the following: An employer called a young girl to fill the oflice of private secretary, and was greatly astonished to learn that she was quite ignorant, she spelled incorrectly, she did not use good English in speech, and she was undigni- fied in business relations, in truth, she was far short of the ideal secretary. High standards may be considered from either the physical or mental point of view. Physical well-being is fundamental, not only for the pupil's sake but for the teacher's. Many people are apt to consider their health merely incidental, as com- 7
