the Quiver FOREWORD HIS book is a lasting monument consecrated to the memory, d not of school days only, but of days of life. Other experiences there will be. but none will bear a fonder memory than will those at the Normal. Few they are who are willing to forget the first “alma mater that gave them inspiration and bade them hope. Surely, among the memories which linger longest and have the greatest fragrance, at a time when one is able to see realities, are those of personal touches which have to do not with mere subject-matter or technique, but which reveal, sketchily and momentarily even though it were, the life purpose, to the furtherance of which teacher and student mutually pledge their lives. From life we obtained the canvas, from our school the paints and technique; the picture will be painted in the future. This then for its background; the schools exist to train future citizens; to advance society to a higher scale of living. The growth of character, wisdom, and understanding is the base from which the advance will be made. Technical training and painstaking investigation are the necessary equipment to carry on. We need a corps of trained teachers, sound in knowledge and well equipped with the professional training and spirit which can be obtained only in normal schools. There must be a self-respect, a professional spirit among teachers which is as strong and virile as that among lawyers, engineers, and physicians. The teaching profession must be respected more than any other. It will not be so long as we make teaching a temporary profession. We pledge ourselves to the promotion of more exacting certification laws, to high standards in class work, and to a sound professional training. But we shall never lose sight of the fact that a real understanding of human behavior is based on a broad experience and sympathetic confidence. Forrest R. Polk =P Past 5
