new educational plants. and is also
more ready to scrap" one plan for
what appears to be a better one long
before we SHOULD consider that the old
one had had a fair trial.
Another thing tina struck me was
the number of teachers and people en-
gagged in educational work who will
gather together for educa tional pur-
poses such as summer schools, insti-
and meetings. A number OF
teachers find that they are not so full
ly equipped as they would like to be.
n they take advantage of their holt
days to attend summer schools or go to
the universities to modernize their
work and improve themselves.
This is more easy to do In the
States than in England, because the
vacations are much longer. In the
large cities the salaries of teachers are
higher than ours. but they are dis
counted by the greater cost OF living.
Yet IN spite OF that I think on the
whole the pay OF the American teacher
Is better"

So emphatically was this announce
