IDEALS FOR SCHOOLS SINCLAIR STEPS OUT
Or. Davidson Urges Them in
Addressing CoIored Teachers.
DOESN'T WANT ANY PULLS
Predicts That Cooperation Will
Make District School System
Best on Globe.

Teachers Of the public schools should
keep high ideals always before them.
No teacher of the public schools should
attempt TO use influence or pull for
personal gain.
Those are to lie two of the leading
policies of the Davidson administration
of the public schools. according to an
address made By the new superintendent
at the NJ Street High School this morn
ing before all the teachers and officials
OF the colored public schools. This was
Dr. Dayidson's initiatory address before
a body of teachers of this city.
DR.. Davidson's principal theme was the
need for teachers to maintain high ideals
and to keep themselves ever in touch
with the worlds greatest and best per-
sonalities He spoke impressively of the
power Of the teacher for developing the
child's best qualities, for fitting him for
the highest forms of citizenship and good
character.
Child's Future a Problem.
Although he could predict of birds and
animals their future. from a scientific
viewpoint, DR.. Davidson declared that
such thing was impossible for child.
hen l look into the face of a babe in
the cradle said the speaker; when !
see the boy when he enters school for the
hfst time; when I see him again as he
studles In the third or fourth grade, or
When finally see him as a graduate of
the nigh schools, l know that / cannot
pred!ct his future. What can that spark
or lie become? In the personality and
the Ideals OF YOU teachers rest the future
of human lives.
Do not believe that he who sneers at
locals has foOthold in our world very
long, said the superintendent, continu-
ing. Our ideals today determine what
our nation shall be tomorrow. If have
a message to deliver to you it is: Believe
in yourselves, and in ideals and in the
inspiration of the heart.
congratulate you that YOU have an
opportunity to serve the children of this
city. | hope that every teacher will
always stand in touch with the greatest
personalities and keep high IDEALS
Later in his address the speaker touched
upon the use of pull by teachers and
others connected with the school system.
Il wish every teacher to pursue the proper
channels. l do not believe in pull in
connection with the advancement of
teachers in the public school, No public
school administration can reach it's high
est ideals in the face of such methods.
If we can harmonic on this we can
make the school system of the District
of Columbia the greatest on the globe. "
He advised the teachers not to see mem
bers of the board or influential men to
have their personal ambition realized
