White Man Appeals After Court Finds Him Guilty of Assault on Negro Business World Comments On Value of Our Teachers By Mr*. Margaret Arrington, Mr*. Sarak Dudley, Beaufort Facolty Menken Became they realise the import ance of the teacher in our way of life, many industrial and business concerns are beginning to make ef forta to boost the teacher's poaition. Recently a pamphlet entitled "Our Teachers ? Their Importance to Our Children and Our Community" was furnished us by the National Association of Manufacturers, Mew York. By permission from the Ed ucation Department of NAM we shall be quoting portions of this pamphlet during the next few weeks. The following portion is quoted verbatim. "Have you ever stopped to con sider the role teachers have played in your life ? how they have fig ured in the shaping of your ideas, interests, and convictions? "Next to parents, no one deals more intimately than teachers with a youngster's talents and deficien cies, failures and achievements during the crucial, formative early years. We look to our schools with great expectation. We look partic ularly to teachers for the wise edu cation and training of literate, pro ductive, and freedom-loving citi zens. "Education needs the support and guidance of all those whose lives are enriched by it and whose fu tures pend upon it. "Never have we as a nation or as a people been confronted with more things which need to be done well. No age has ever demanded more wisdom, more loyalty, and more uncommon men, willing and ible to accept responsibility, than docs this one. "As you read this, about one fifth of our total population is in elementary or secondary schools. Each of these youngsters will spend about 12 per cent of his wak ing hours in the presence of a teacher ? as many as sixty teach ers ? before receiving a high school diploma. "How well oar children will do tomorrow, what kind of a living and life they will make for them selves, will depend largely upon bow often and how much each citi zen pitches in to help improve our schools and to make teaching more effective. "Parents who insist on nothing less than the best education for their children and their neighbors' children must be willing to pay for high-quality professional leader ship. Equally important, they must donate their efforts ? willingly, eagerly, and often ? to help publi cize school problems on every Main Street, in every community of the nation. "Teaching is the largest of all professions; sometimes it is the most misunderstood as well. It is BURNS CLEANER NO SMOK1, NO ODOR J. M. DAVIS Tcxaco Products ??reheat CUy misunderstood, perhaps, because many people tend to look upon teaching as an occupation separate and apart from the day-to-day ac tivities of community life. "Some parents send their chil dren olWo school, hoping for the best, but hardly aware of what ? and how much ? is being done to enrich their children's lives. These people picture the teacher as a con venient guardian and tutor, who re lieves them of child-care chores for a few hours each day. They are grateful for these small favors but take little further Interest in the purpose, value, and problems of ed ucation. "The American teacher is a high ly trained professional worker and a member of one of the most im portant professions. He under stands children, is competent in his subject area, and knows how to teach. "Today, four years of college study is the minimum requirement for high school teachcrs in 45 statei and more than half of the statei demand a college degree of teacher candidates for the elementary schools. A fifth year of study ii already required in some statei and is clearly In the offing in many others. "In addition to fulfilling formal college requirementi, a teacher has to measure up to the standard! established by the individual state departments of education before qualifying for a license or creden tials. Then come interviews, screening, and final selection by local school authorities ? the citi zens you voted into office or who were appointed in your community. "Before walking into his first classroom, a teacher's professional qualifications and personal back ground have been carefully review ed and approved. No matter how long lie continues to teach, he ii aware of the fact that his profcs sional education is a continuing pro cess and never completed. It is nit unusual to hear of teachers who skimp, save, and take summer job! to accumulate enough money for additional schooling. "Educators constantly strive to keep teaching in pace with the dy namic needs of our vastly complcx and accelerating society. Working through national, state, and local professional associations and com mittees, they have made it their responsibility to maintain high pro fessional standards and ethics. "They have become increasingly suspicious of haphazard shortcuts in programs of teacher education and 'emergency' certification plans. The reasoning ii sound. The edu cational equation la inescapable. Second-rate teachers can mean only second-rate schools. There is no room in America (or either."
