R. E. DECOTEAU Principal In recent years, much attention has been focused on our public school sys- tem, particularly through the medium of the press. This scrutiny has resulted in open criticism of methods, personnel, curriculum, and general objectives. You, as teachers, will need to defend your own classroom procedures and objectives. Misinterpretations of your program can be minimized by keeping your classroom door open to parents, by encouraging visits and conferences, and by always speaking highly of your school and its personnel. GERALDINE QUINT Assistant Director of Training Books, plays, radio, and TV are all media for learning in our society today, but education in its finest sense is a matter of inspiration. Education is a personal experience, and of all experiences which influence the child, few shape his life as a teacher does. In the words of Henry Adams, A teacher affects eternity. He can never tell Where his influence stopsf, Teachers guide our national destiny just as surely as does any statesman. Remember this statesman was once a pupil guided by the ideals some teacher helped him set. Our country uses its teachers to develop in the child responsibilities, ideas, and understandings which will help him in solving problems of group living and contribute to his living as an individual. Thus, by giving this responsibility to teachers, we will not later need force and fear to control our adults. All of us remember from our school life one great teacher. Thus may some child remember you! l . -rf c ' .Q-. V'-.zil f 5 ' '- 7-'f' r T' .' 13 s ' r,:...f2!5 'tvT'-N lf ,EE 1. ., E' '-f' T ' ' ' ' .V 11:1 I .'.i l ,i . .
