TEACHERS TOLD OF IDEALS.
Roscoe G.. Bruce Addresses Wash.
ington Pedagogues.

At meeting of teachers of NJ Street
High School. Armstrong Manual Train
ing School and Normal School No. ., at
tended by James F. Oyster, president of
the board Of education, Roscoe G. Bruce,
assistant superintendent Of schools, made
an address to the colored teachers of the
public schools of Washington.
He said in part:
president Mckinley advised ten mill
lion Americans to strive not for the un-
attainable.' But what ideal Is attainable
by man? And is it not, therefore, pre-
cisely the unattainable that gives effort
its SAVIOR and makes life worth living?
Now what, you ask. does this specific
ally mean in terms of classroom work?
Joseph Landon tells us. He says that the
teacher should not attempt to fit stereo-
typed plans to all circumstances; what we
want is more originality and less blind
imitation He should be of an inquiring
turn of mind, given to careful obserya-
tons of child nature. and to trying ex-
periments in teaching or government
Like Comenius. the modern teacher
Should be able to say in his seventy
seventh year, L thank God that l have all
my life been a man of aspirations The
teacher must be an inveterate idealst."
