The unceasing flow of students and personalities re- sults in depths of character and understanding that can seldom be sounded. The standards and definite aims of the faculty members are always set in sound thought. To the ordinary student, the most tangible contact with teachers is the report card. Every teacher realizes what a small part of the story grades tell. lt is very difficult to grade into five classes such a large body of students. The present sys- tem, although an improvement upon the old letter system, is disliked by students and faculty alike. Some day a plan will be devised so that students will strive toward an accumulation of knowledge instead of excellent marks. Many problems of students are solved by tactful suggestions and timely advice 13

Librarian Teachers must satisfy many different demands. They are constantly at the call of students, parents and school board. Through storms of criticism and advice, they have learned to steer a careful course. Teachers are always eager to learn. New courses and books extend to them a possibility for greater knowledge. To insure a progressive education that is replete with new but not untried ideas, the teachers are encouraged to earn new credits each year. These credits may be earned by attending extension courses, by reading outstanding booksand by attending lectures. The reports, reviews and outlines handed in by teachers keep the Portland educational system standardized. Many teachers in Washington spend their summers attending summer school in well known universities of fine scholastic standing. This extra study shows the teacher's active interest in the school system. From their own work they realize that additional en- deavor deserves credit and try to give it to deserving students. ' 12
