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-.

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.

B '
WHO IS JESUS?
. International Sunday School
Lesson For January 22
( Memory Selection: “They said
?to the woman, ‘lt is no longer(
[ because of your words that we
[ believe, for we have heard for j
I ourselves, and we know that this ‘
[ is indeed the Savior of the
I world’.” —John 4:42.
® Lesson Text: John 4.
As we pick up our Bibles to
L study the lesson allotted to us for
[ today, the question we face is:
I How do we get to know who
i Jesus is? j
I Our Scripture reading for to- I
| day tells of Jesus’ conversation j
> with the woman of Samaria be
side Jacob’s well. It is an im- j
portant story for the under- j
1 standing of the Gospel as a
' whole. Among other things, it,
provides the answer according
to John—to the question with
I which we are concerned. The
[ story, in turn, deals with the
| question of water —“living wa
-1 ter” the proper site for wor-
F ship; an interpretation of Jesus
I as the Christ; and belief, pro-
I found and wholehearted.

Sooner or later each of us
comes to some theory about Je
sus. 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,
