teacher of the English language may
be-" he said, "he knows well that the

such vigorous and yet delicately ar

has the average educated English

Partly because OF the many cen

with the American, but more because
of the richness OF se material re.

TEACHING Of
ENGLISH IN
HIGH SCHOOLS
THREE LIONS 5ESET THE PATH
OF SUCCESS IN THE INSTRUC-
TIoN OF ENGLISH, ACCORDING
TO PROF. T. E. RANKIN.

Topeka, Kas., Nov 11.-Three lions
beset the path to success in the in
struction of English in the high
schools, declared T. f. Rankin, pro
fessor of rhetoric in the university of
Michigan, speaking on The Teaching
of English in the High School" at
an English round table" of the an
nual convention of the Kansas State
Teachers association here today. Pro-
fessor Rankin declared his belief,
however, that some men and women
are teaching English to high school
students about as it should be taught"
He added that he would not set forth
theory concerning such teaching.
These are the three lions in the
path: inadequate preparation; a most
difficult task; and compensation that
does not appeal to the competent or
does not afford the competent who
do go into the work the support they
need" declared Professor Rankin
Regarding inadequate preparation,
he said college and university grad
yates who are seeking positions for
teaching English, as a rule, less ade-
quately prepared for that specific
task than other graduates who are
seeking positions to teach other sub
jects are prepared for their specific
tasks.
"The second cause for the relative
ly slight success in the teaching of
this subject" he continued, "is the |
essential difficulty of the task. This |
difficulty is not due to the indefinite |
nature of the subject. The difficulty |
is due to the fact that English-speak-
ing pupils are a usually less amen
able to careful and exacting instruc.
tions in English than they are in
every other subject. And, often, most
unfortunately, the less cultured the
family from which the pupil comes,
the less amenable are the children to
vigorous, painstaking instruction in
English.
What superintendents and school
boards much more often than not pay

much lower salaries to teachers OF
English than those who instruct in
any other field" was designated by
Professor Rankin as his third lion
that accounts for the fact that there
is not an amazing amount of very sue.
cessful teaching of English going OIL
at the present time" "And even.
sometimes they utterly fail to under
stand that an English teacher must.
if he does his work properly, spend
very much more time in the service
of his students out of school hours
than must anyone else upon the STAIR
he continued. Anybody can teach
English is the excuse, he said with
the result that comparatively few real
ly do teach it effectively"
Teaching, Prof Rankin declared he
believed, is very much more of an art
than it is a science Perhaps it would
be ungracious to insist that most
striking phenomenon in our schools
is that those who are most scientific
lin their information about teaching
are frequently the poorest teachers" "
he said
Much of the necessary training to
become successful, Professor Rankin
said, can be secured while one is in
the course of his teaching. \ genius
for hard work is one of the necessary
perquisites, he said
Then, to be really ideally fitted for
the teaching of English" he declared. |
'one ought to be a man or woman
with an income Independent of his |
school salary. This is true of him
even more than it is of the preacher. I
The teacher of this subject above all |
others lives and works within realm
of ideas about which there are the
greatest differences of opinion.

for teaching, the subject most

to make it so, and the most far reach
