"WHY MEN REFUSE TO TEACH

The true reason why men reIuSe
to teach must be found entirely out
side the books, else every teacher
would already know, and the question
would not be mooted in educational
journals. The Record really has no
explanation to offer; but we make a
distinction between "croakers" and
Knockers" holding that the croaker
inside the profession does more harm
than the knocker on the outside.
An article republished a few days
ago from the Educational Review, OF
New York, gave four reasons for men
refusing to teach, which may be stat
ed briefly as follows:
First, it is a hireling occupation,
and the teacher is subject to the crit
Ism of the entire community.
second, teaching is looked down
upon in the community, and the
teacher is regarded by business men
sl%ightingly, as an ~improvident vision
airy thinking in a world of imaginary
conditions.
Third, teaching belittles a man,
dealing with petty things under regu.
lations laid down by outside author.
fly. His environment narrows him.
You cannot usually get it out of the
heads of the kind of men who go into
teaching that they are dealing with
inferior minds. 1t is the assumption
that the teacher knows 1t all and the
ohi,J nafhin- that hnlitf1oS
Fourth, teaching tends to bad
manners"
Appearing in a school journal, the
article referred to was, presumably
written by a teacher; and the Record

But in ourselves, that we are

Possibly there are persons in every
community who look down upon
teaching. But what of that? The
only actual danger is that any teach

this comment upon a prominent
newspaper man: HE will never make

ironical way of pr%onouncing him a
more happiness to him than a million
dollars would, and enabled him to

quote books instead of thinking and
making direct observation of things
which the books only report second

not be regarded as any more offensive
than the shop ak of persons engag-
ed in other trades or professions. 1t
