THE TEACH Frs

rule college professors are not chosen for their
ability to teach. Many worthless teachers,
with long titles and loud diplomas, find easy
seats and secure hiding-places in the old col
legea. Such seldom rcform-their habits
prevent progress. Teachers musi be made, Az
well ms born need to be specialists not only
in what they teach, but specidiists in the art Of
fedching In the Normal, too, IN the freshness
and vigor impaired to the work by the stu
dcnt-teachcrr. The fact that any student may
be called on to drill detachment from a
class, or conduct the recitation, or even take
ior limited time aclsss, gives Nh inspiration
IN study and brings to the work srlf-pro-
polling enthusiasm unknown to the old
schools. the students thus become co.work-
ers with the teachers, and mutual helpers of
one another in their Investigations. Those
teachers whose conception Of the work j. Ia
keep order, assign lessons, and hear recita-
lions IN the old way, cannot understand this.

equal to this work. They cannot copy this
feature of lire schools hence dccry it to their
ov shame.
The teachers in the Normal possess individ-
uality-do their work in their own way.
Methods constantly change. The basal prin.
ciplcs vi education and teaching are axiomat-
&c and eternal, but good teachers use differ
