The General Character of Teachers.

Professor Russell, of Columbia Uni
versity. is quoted as having said that
teachers were the most narrow and
bigoted set OF people on earth, pusil-
Luminous and cringing, and as class
totally untitled for the work they mad
20 do.
This is rather a sweeping Indictment
and il is 10 be noted that before bring
ing it, Prof Russell got as far away
from home as ne possibly could in this
country. The statement was made dur
ing the closing session Of the summer
school Of the University of California.
II is not likely that this cOmpTehen-
sive statement is wholly true. for after
all. children and young people are
learning things in our schools and col
I-ges. and they could not learn any
thing # the teachers were totally unfit
ted for their work II is quite possible,
however. that Improvements might be
made in this branch Of business. and
that without a great deal Of trouble or
expense. If people only knew that they
were needed and what they ought 20 be.
The two great obstacles in the way of
a perfect school system in this country
are politics and tradition The latter
obstacle is more OF less evident IN all
countries. the former may almost be
said 20 be peculiar 10 America. Unul
our public schools and even our col
leges are rid OF the political JObbery
which is mixed up I'm ali school affairs
at the present time, little Improvement
can be anticipated. A ward politician
is not a proper person 10 decide upon
matters Of education There might be
some excuse for his ascaudency If he
represented in his views the opinions Of
the average intelligent person Of the
community, for thus the wishes Of the
plain people. and their ideas Of prac-
teal education for their children. might
unset some of the fetiches OF tradition
But he represents nothing but his own
ideas and the spells system. and his
idea Of the proper arrangement Of
school matters too often is 10 secure
| places for as many Of his friends and
relatives Of his strong political sup
p0rters as ne can
It is this sort Of thing which makes
teachers "pusillanimous and crinFing-' %
Instead Of giving every power Of ~ nd
and body 10 their work. and being re-
spousibIe 20 no one save an Inspector
| thoroughly competent 20 judge OF a
