:::THE NORMZI: AGAIN the ttNorm -most welcome. The usual request for copy and the multitude of absorbing subjects confuse one. However, as a professional school the tholt comes with keen force that we are now facing a crisis. Not only in our daily work with the pupils are we expected to teach the fundamentals, also combat the dangerous and per- nicious doctrines which are'now finding a footing in our land, but we are called upon to defend our standards from those who would undo all that has been done for decades past to build the profession to a basis of self respect and consequently the respect of men. An effort is being made to let down the bars in these hours of distress to teachers irrespective of training and qualifications. A worse mistake could not be made. Not to go over the usual grounds of the born teacher? yet we feel so keenly the need of the best we can give our children that we bewail the effort to belittle the real work of the trained teacher. Rather, consolidate the school, increase the wage and attract the best, thus insuring for the future, a citizen of character with a trained intellect and an ap- preciation of Americanism. .. 1 As earnest teachers this situation calls for the best that is in us. And by our united :th efforts we will make a real advance, turning a danger into a blessing. grim x -MR.
