L think it a bad thing to employ any
very, considerable number of the gradu-
'ateSy their own high school. 1t is a
system of in-breeding, which in the
end must be disastrous in its results.
If the graduates of the local high school
are to be. teachers in the grade which
they have left a few years before, they)
should at least be sent away for train
ing elsewhere. The best schools in Hi,
nois are adopting the method Of en-
ploying the great majority of their
teachers from other localities.

Albert H. Tuttle, Professor Of Biology,
University Of Virginia:

OillNSTSlty VI V ISil4eb-
My opinion is asked as to Whether the
schools of a city should be taught ex-
clusively by persons educated in the
same locality. In reply will say that
if the matter were left to me to de-
eide, most emphatically they should not.
I express this opinion after an expert
ence of over thirty-fiye years as
teacher in schools of adj grades, from
the district school to the university. L
have in that time seen such a course
as you refer to, pursued in country and
city schools in the normal school, col
lege and the university, and always
with the result of producing narrow
ness a. low ideal, and a. marked degree
Of resistance to new ideas and methods.
I believe that large proper
ton of the teachers of the schools
of a city may with propriety be found
within the community, but L also think
that the governing board or the person
responsible for the selection of staff
of teachers-whether for school. college
or university-will, if wise, purposely go
away from home for quite a number OF
them, with the express intention of con-
tinually introducing new life and new
ideas into the system. l practice what
L preach L do all that 1 can to place
my own special students advantageous
~ in other institutions, and in other
states, and in the selection of my own
assistants, give the preference as far
as may be to men with whose training
1 have had but little to do, or else to
men, who, having been my students,
have afterwards been away from here
and under entirely different influences.
AS a matter of fact, 1 have with me
at this time as my chief assistant
young man who is a, graduate Of your
own state university; he is one of the
best assistants 1 ever had, and he is
all the more valuable because his ex-
perience, his training, and his ideas
carry him beyond our own limits. I
trust that those having charge of those
matters in your city will, for the sake
of the welfare of the children whose
interests are most deeply involved, see
the wisdom of liberal policy in this
most important regard

Henry Wade Rogers, President North
western University:


I do not approve of policy that re-
quires teachers to be chosen exclusive
", or even largely. from the graduates
of their own schools. 1t is of very great
Importance that the best eachers should
be secured. A rule which requires them
to be selected from a particular school
or a particular city or state. is a re-
striction which might prevent a seIec-
ton of the most competent instruct
ors.
In some of the universities the policy
was at one time pursued of selecting
instructors chiefly from their own grad
yates. 1t has, however. come to be
looked upon as a very unwise policy.
1t is now thought to be wise to have
professors who have been trained in
various universities brought into a fac
ulty, inasmuch as they come with new
views as to methods of instruction. An
institution is less apt to get into a. rut
and run along in the old way if new
blood is thus brought in. NY advice
would be to get your teachers from
the best schools, where the most adj
vanced methods and best instructors
are employed, without any reference to
locality. Schools are not maintained
for the purpose of giving employment
to persons who may be residing within
the locality. but they are established

Thomas D. Seymour, Professor
Greek. Yale College:

In colleges and in universities the
truth is acknowledged now that the
system of breeding lin and in is thor
oughly bad. The college which has for
it's teachers none but it's own graduates
is sure soon to have a narrow spirit,
and to lack other essentials of sound
and high scholarship. New blood has
to be brought in from without. This
leads to an interchange of ideas, and to
prevent stagnation. Yale and Harvard
are so liberal in this matter of select
ing professors from the graduates of
other colleges. that their alumni are
almost inclined to think that the pref
erence is given to outsiders. l have no
doubt that these colleges are the broad
er and better because of this liberality
For myself I do not see why the same
principle should not apply to schools.
and I should be- very sorry to see our
schools taught by none but Connecti-
cut teachers. Our superintendent of
schools came from western New York.
The principal of our high school came
from New Jersey; the head classical
master came from Illinois; the head
teacher of English came from Omaha
SO the list runs. Some of the New Ha-
ven people think that the board of ed
ucation has not taken enough teachers
from Connecticut and New Haven, but
ON the whole the board is sustained by
public sentiment.

D. Rentamin Andrews. superintenden

Of Schools. Chicago:
1 think it would be very unfortunate
and dangerous thing for a city's schools
to be taught, all of them, by people
born. reared and educated in that city.
The Chicago policy is a good one, to
hold each year an examination for out
side applicants, and blend the success
full candidates with our own normal
school graduates.

Reserve University:
In respect to the question which you
ask me, l beg to give a very strong
negative answer. 1t is not best for the
teachers in any one locality TO be train
ed exclusively in that locality. The main
element in the choice of a teacher, or
i'm the choice of any body of teachers
is to secure the absolutely best. If the
teachers who are best have been train
ed in one locality, and in only one, still
choose them, or if those who are best
have been trained in ten, or a thousand
localities, still choose them. American
education in many cities is suffering
from in-breeding. The method too ordi-
uariIy followed is for the graduates of
the high school to enter a normal train
ing school for six months or a little
longer time, and from this training
school. to go back into the grammar
schools as teachers whence they have
come as graduates only four or five
wears before The method results in
narrowness in the teacher, and narrow
ness in the one taught. Suffer me to
illustrate my suggestion as to the wis
est method by reference to the colleges
of western reserve university. l be-
Iieve that the persons on the faculty
of these two undergraduate colleges
have taken their degrees in some thirty
different institutions Whenever we
wish to add to our teaching force. we
search. so TO speak, the world over to
ind the best. In case the best proves
to be one Of our own graduates, we are.
Of course, glad, but in case the best
nroves to be the graduate of another
college, him we. choose. first, last and
all the time the best.

ion.

G. Stanley Hall, President Clark Uni
versity:
In answer to your letter, I have a
very pronounced opinion. 1t is, in the
long run, simply disastrous that the
schools of city should be taught ex-
clusively by those educated in that
locality. This question has been abund-
antly discussed at educational meet
ingS and in literature, and, so far as
know, there is only one opinion among
educators who are entitled to have
opinions. viz, that breeding in and in
causes narrownesS and stagnation,
and that good proportion of teachers
from a distance is one of the most in
MIGRATING tonics that can be applied
to school systems. Were there time, l
could cite plenty of instances, both in
small towns and large cities where this
slogan of Smithville teachers for Smith
vile schools has been raised, some
times for political effect and sometimes
by teachers who are alarmed at being
subjected to comparison and COMPETE
ton. The motto should always be,
THE best teachers, wherever they can
be obtained" Where other qualifica-
tions are equal, home talent is to be
preferred.

It is my opinion that it is unwise to

In my opinion it is very important
that a large proportion of the teachers

principle Of breeding in. Nothing is
more important than that fresh blood
should be introduced all the time.

Yori;:
Replying to your inquiry, 1 advise
you lhat IN many cities OF the country
the boards of education have taken
special pains to secure his teachers rep
rasentatives from different normal
schools of the country, or other educa-
tional institutions, for the professional
equipment of teachers with the very
best results. have in mind now large
city in which the superintendent Of
schools advises me that he has among
his teachers representatives. from near
" all the best normal schools in the
country. His excellent schools show
the good results of the policy adopted.
In my opinion it is unwise for the
school authorities of any city to insist
that the schools shall be taught exclu-
sively by those educated in that partic-
ular locality. Such a policy is narrow
and weakening. The vitality of the
school system depends upon fresh
blood.

A. E. winship, Editor of the Journal

of Education:
1t is the universal judgment of all
educational leaders that it is a calamity
to have the leading teachers as a whole
born and educated in the city in which
they teach. Intellectual in-breeding is
more debasing than physical inbred
ing. There is not a farmer of tenth-rate
intelligence who does not know that his
stock runs down and runs out in a short
time, if he does not bring in new blood
from other foeks md herds Fen the
sowing of land with seed raised on it,
viii run out both crop and SOIL The
child who would be content to learn
all he knows from his parents through
conversation, would be little better than
an ignoramus. There is not a reputable
college, or normal school in the coun-
try, that would fill its faculty con-
stantly from it's own graduates with no
other training. There is not q city of
any local standing, to say nothing of
national reputation, which could be
induced to place itself on record as an
educational in-breeding champion In
deed every progressive city and town
with which ! an acquainted has a writ
ten or unwritten law that a certain
percentage of its teachers shall come
from outside. In some cities the per-
centage has been as high as so per cent,
and I have known one in which it was
less than 70 per cent. OF course the
lower Grade work is usually done by
home talent, and this is not so harm
full, because these teachers work under
the direction of the principals and SUI
perintendents. Boston has always gone
OUTSIDE of the city limits for more than
10 per cent OF their school leaders.
