TEACHING 1 By A./2c FLETCHER O. PERRY L Malms from Air Fore* Base. Montana ,„ f ~ I believe in this day and time when so -much stress is pat on a teacher's low salary, people have ' dome to think of the teacher as any other laborer. Such a belief as this is very harmful not only to 1 the teachers bnt also to onr entire civilisation. Therefore, this article is dedicated to these uneasy heroes of onr schools, the teacher. Its purpose to project a new light on the teaehiar profession in seneral. A/2c FLETCHER G. PERRY. This article doesn’t concern the subjects which are taught or should be taught nor is it a de scription of school systems and policies. Instead, it concerns the methods of teaching. In other words the “art” of teaching. Yes, the “art” of teaching. I believe it is just that,,an art rather than a science as most people con ceive it to be. To con vey this point, if teachers tried to conduct a class by purely sci entific methods, she would turn out a group of monsters rather thfeh humans. The reason for itßis is that in teaching one has jto allow for a simple little thing (called • “emotions.” For this rea son, if for no other, a person cannot be judged by standards set up to judge a perfect thing. No one is perfect. As Will Rog ers once said, “Everybody is ig norant, only on different sub jects.” *The art of teaching is a high ly'specialized field. Contrary to the common belief, everyone cannot be a teacher. Remember, a teacher must be able not only ■to master certain subjects but like Wise be able to convey this knowledge to the pupil. o.ne of ’thest things without the other is : impossible if one is to be a I , teacher. : Haye you ever stopped to think of the qualifications of a teacher? Well, here are just a few <sf them: A good memory, patience and will power, kind ; ness, clarity of expression and responsibility. .Let’s go into ' these qualifications a little more : deeply, taking each one separ ately. When a teacher is con : ducting a discussion on a topic ; she must be prepared to answer 1 any question the pupils may ask. Here is where the first qualifi cation, good memory, enters the picture. We take the next two, will power and patience com 'bined, since their relationship is closely linked. No doubt you realize that no matter how per fect your Johnny or your Mary 1 max. . .Sppner or l*t*r,. they j will misbehave. But what if I there are four or five Johnnys and Maitys who happen to mis- 1 behave at the same time? In | this case the teacher must have: the patience to understand the [ reason for their conduct and the will power to gain control of the class and direct it toward a pro fitable conclusion. The next qualification is clarity of ex pression. Without this qualifica tion, the possession qf all the, others would be useless. The I teacher’s inability to convey her | thoughts leads tfie •sttidftit fc the j only alternative, that of inter- 1 preting the meaning of the sub ject for himself. And if he does this, the teacher has S|st her .true purpose because he is act ually teaching himself. The last piece to the puzzle is responsibility. The teacher must be responsible for giving the pu pil a pprpose in his wofi be cause purpose is the chief hid to learning. Just as the chief re wards of learning is theaemse of • Achievement. Likewise she is I responsible for making a bridge j between youth and I But most of all, the teacher has; in her possession one of the -greatest responsibilities ,of_man-. kind, that of molding Someone( - JK i V Good Reading lor the Whole Family •new ) ; •Facts elee’s life and thus the future course of mankind. If she fails, her failure is not only her loss but it is a loss to all mankind. But in her success lies her great est reward of the teaching pro fession. So far I nave presented the image of the teacher as a person embodied only in an institution of learning. But such is not the case. Almost everything about you acts as a teacher. Some times nature acts as a teacher. Our ever changing environment acts as a teacher. As a mar ried couple go through life they share the teaching process and most of all the greatest teacher of all, Christ, still supplies the material, the Bible, by which we may be taught the greatest things in life.

We not only read about him; we are confronted by the question, “What do I make of i him ” “What interpretation do I , place upon his life?” And as we seek guidance, and we turn to \ the New Testament to see how ' some of the early Christians dealt with this matter, we find that they did not all come up with the same answer. At first we may be utterly J confused when we discover these variations of interpretation, even within the Bible itself. But we need not be surprised. In our , own time people often vary I greatly in the contexts of their (definitions of what Jesus means Ito them. It is, therefore, not (surprising that in the early , church (when being a Christian i was something very new) writ ers should have clothed Jesus in a variety of garbs, picturing him l as doing many quite different things. They merely answered the question “Who is Jesus?” in thought patterns of their own time. Nevertheless, underlying all the controversy, there is the shared assumption, one will note, Continued on Page 6, Section 2 1 HAPPY HOME PENTECOSTAL i HOLINESS CHURCH HAROLD C. LEAKE.
