On account of the delicate and dif ficult nature of this process, due to the intangibility of the substance with which it works and of the re sults which it achieves, preeminently in the profession of teaching it is aspiration rather than attainment that constitutes ethical conduct. Those who accept the responsibil ity, therefore, of serving society by attempting to determine, direct, and carry on the process of education should possess the highest attributes Of character, and should practice the highest code of ethical conduct. These ideals, attributes, and prac tices should find expression in the teacher's relation to each of the fol lowing: 1. The Pupils.—ln his relation to his pupils the teacher should endeav or to set up ideals and to assist his pupils in acquiring the desire, the knowledge, and the power to make those ideals prevail in their own lives and in tlje life of the community of which they are members. In order that he may be able to do this, he should recognize and re spect the inalienable rights of child hood and the individuality of each child. His attitude toward his pu pils should be determined not so much by contemplation of what, from the adult point of view, they ought to be or may ultimately become, as by frank recognition of what they intrinsically are. Youth is not a de fect to be overcome by old age. Like beauty, it is its own excuse for be ing. The teacher's attitude, there fore, should be devoid of condescen-, sion and characterized by sympathy and justice. The teacher's authority should b* commensurate with his responsibility, but he should punish only to pro tect, and control only to deliberate He should attempt to maintain th.» dignity of his position by demon strating his superior ability to serve rather than his arbitrary power to compel. He should strive to lift up his pupils to the high level of cor operation, rather than to* hold them to the low plane of mere obedience. 2. Fellow-Teachers.—ln his rel* tion to his co-workers, the teacher'* attitude should be characterized by the spirit of co-operation.. Co-oper ation is not obedience to> a superior, but loyalty to an equal. The heart of co-operation is the recognition o* common interests. As guidance for the conduct of teachers in their relations to one another, the Golden Rule is adequate and applies with explicit force and beauty. 3. The Administration.—The re lation between the teacher and those in positions of superior responsi bility should be characterized by mu tual confidence and co-operation. Those who are responsible to the public for the conduct of the school should attempt to acquaint the teacher with the larger purposes of the organization and to furnish him with such assistance and guidance as will enable him to co-operate in telligently. The teacher should make a sympathetic effort to understand those purposes and, regardless of personal feeling or private opinion, so long as he continues to be a part of the organization, faithfully to car ry them out. Teachers, however, should be en couraged to make suggestions and to offer criticisms through proper chan nels. A school system in which only one mind is allowed to think and only one voice to speak is ethically as well as educationally indefensible. All contracts should be offered in good faith and accepted in the same spirit, and no contract should be broken by either party except by mu tual consent or by due process of law If at any time before the expiration of a contract either party should de cide that a new contract should not be entered into, the party so decid ing should notify the other party at such time and in such manner as may be calculated to produce the minin um amount of inconvenience or embarrassment. 4. The Community.—ln his rela tion to the community the teacher should be an example of the value to society of an educated citizen. So far as may be consistent with the best performance of his specific du ties, as a teacher, he should actively SPINDALE, THE HOME O F FINEST TEXTILES identify himself with all movements of civic and social interest. In his personal relations his con duct should be such as to elevate rather than to lower prevailing mo ral standards. His habits and prac tices should be governed by a due regard for the established conven tions of the community. In all his relations he should at tempt, without calculation of the im mediate financial compensation in volved, to serve to the best of his ability the best interests of the com munity. 6. The Profession.—ln his rela tion to his profession the teacher should stand for the highest ideals of educational service. His loyalty to his group should be upon recognition of group re sponsibility to society. In the interest of professional growth he should maintain a friend ly attitude toward change, and should support the efforts of his profession as an organized body to elevate its standards and improve the quality of its service. Himself.—ln his attitude to ward himself the teacher may well afford to heed the admonition of Cardinal Wolsey to Cromwell: "Love thyself last." However, he should not be too aware of doing this. His attitude should be characterized by the spirit of Moses, whose face shone, but who wist not that it shone. In the presence of his burning bush the teacher should ever stand with reverence and in humility of spirit. Before men his bearing should be dignified and devoid of apology, but without conceit. To this end he should strive to keep himself physically efficient, mentally alert, emotionally sympa- PRESSING ON INTO THE NEW YEAR I The old year is past and gone and no matter what the outcome was gj we can only look to the new one for results. fijl We are glad we were able to serve so many people last year and ®J hope to make many more new fri ends this year.
