We cannot at once improve our schools in general. More money alone will not do it, much as money is needed. To a large degree that improvement must come by individual schools in individual communities, and generally the improvement will come because a fev leaders make it their business to see that their communities have great schools. HOW. Suppose that in some community or intelligent man-or woman should decide that the best use he or she can make of spare time for the next twenty or thirty ye rs is to work for and with the public schools. Suppose, too, such a person realizes that the heart of a school system is the men and women who teach and administer. TEACHERS. Through a parents' and teachers' association or through other channels the public must be made to realize the difference between carelessness and slovenliness in education on the one hand, and thoroughgoing sincerity on the other. Illustrations and cases must bo constantly provided, beccause people can understand cases better than theories. A constant search should be made for teachers of exceptional I intelligence, sincerity, thoroughness and interest in their work. When a good teacher is found, brin , him or her into the community life. Increase the number of men teachers with families, who can make careers out of their work. Try to find the occasional man »f energy, intelligence and vigor whc sees education as the greatest possible c.areer, as the I key to the future. FRCM COMMON PEOPLE. It will be Staid tlv t I have pictured an impossible task—that no community wants such leader-ship, or will accept it. It is a difficult task, 'cut the schools will reflect the public, and except ns that job is ; done, our fine plans to improve our schools may net mount j to much. —The above quotation from the U.C. text in Guidrnee, the chapter by Arthur Morgan, Chairman, Tennessee Valley Authority. -----3==: 1 9 3 5 ■ ' ■■-==-==
