SOME MARKS OF THE
GOOD TEACHER.
This is the time of the year when
school boards are considering the se-
lection of teachers for next year’s
work. Parents are wondering who
will be elected to care for the training
of their children and the children
themselves, are already discussing
the question among themselves. In
as'much as the subject seems to be of
general interest, it might be well to
consider some qua.ifications of the
successful teacher. 3
Teaching is a profession. It requires
knowledge of material and method.
Those who are best prepared are most
likely to succeed. Knowledge, then,
seems to be the first requisite. Know-
ledge of what? The true teacher must
have a solid foundation in the subject
matter itself. No teacher can do
good work who has to struggle along
to keep pace with his pupils. A stream
will not rise above its source, neither
will a school rise above the teacher.
It is nécessary that the teacher be
prepared beyond the books of the
school room, that he had some infor-
mation and help beyond that of his
pupils. The broader and firmer the
foundation of the teacher, the higher
and stable the structure built upon it.
Scholarship on the part of the teacher
creates interest on the part of pupils,
commandstheirrespect and confldence
inspires them to work, and creates
ideas for them to attain. The teacher
will be successful in proportion to
his own ability and faithfulness as a
student.
Knowledge of subject matter is not
sufficien. The teacher must have a
love for children and a knowledge of
child nature. He must be able to see
how the world looks from the view-
point of the child. Insight into child
nature, sympathy with child nature,
sympathy with child life, and know- |...
ledge of the child’s mental processes
are absolutely essential to succesful!
teaching.
The teacher takes the small. child
when he enters school and throughout
the year, fashions and shapes his!
mind. What the teacher does with
that mind, determines, largely, what
its future will be. Of what impor-
then, that no bungler
should practice on such material as
this. ‘‘No unskilled hand should ever
play upon a harp whose sounds remain
foreyer in the strings.” One may
know what to teach and yet fail to
know how. One isnot a teacher until
he knows how.
We occasionally make the mistake
of employing those as teachers who
have had no professional training.
The physican deals only with the
body yet now many would be willing
to entrust their health to one who had
only graduated in the grades or from
the Public High Séhools. We want
our physican now-a-days, to be not
only a college trained man, but one
who has had four years of professional
training on top of that. The child’s
mind is more plastic than the body.
Why then should its care be placed in
unskilled hands? A doctor might gain
some skill and experience by a two-
year study and practice ih a rural
community, under his own tutelage.
Could he then go town and practice?
I fear few would have much confi-
dence in his work. When the body
needs care, we want the best trained
doctor We can get, and we are willing
to pay the price to get him. Why do
we not take the same stand when it
comes to the care and treatment of
our children’s minds?
If the teacher has such knowledge
of his subject matter that he inspires
confidence, and has some professional
training, the question of discipline is
a smallmatter. Children love to obey
the cool, clear-headed person who
knows what he wants and why he
wants it, and insists on having .it.
Knowledge of child nature and a little
common sense are the elements of
discipline.
The disposition of the teacher has a
great influence in the school room
and needs to be considered. A cheer-
ful disposition brings sunshine into
the lives of the children. On the other
hand, the grim, unbending creatures,
who never smile, cast a shadow over
the school and never really succeed in
their work. One need not be a clown
however, in order to spread cheerful-
ness.
Self-control is another element that
s valuable to the teacher. No pupil
really respects a teacher who lacks
this quality.
The successful teacher must be
broad-minded, well-informed, court-
eous, confident, and persevering. In
addition to these qualities, he must
have the possibility of growth and de-
velopment. He must take a real int-
erest in educational matters. must
read educational literature and read
no pedagogical books. The teacher
who has ceased to grow, is educati-
onally dead and might just as well be
buried educationally. There is no
use in postponing the ceremony, even
though his body does continue to move |,
about on earth. When such appli-
cant present themselves, the school
board should all join hands and wistle
a slow, sad requim for the educational
spirit that has been long since gather-
ed to its fathkrs, and then prooced to
take up the next live one.
