count of the closed-shop policy OF the

rieal ventures may have something

However. there il no need to worry
over this retirement OF Georges as

Concerning Our Public Schools
- BY W. X. IRVING,
President Of Teachers A sseciaton Of the County

tThe following is the twelfth and
last of a series OF articles relevant TO
the public schools and the school sys-
tenn OF the countyl
While winding ID II c series with
this article. allow me TO say that the
subject matter is still very active, al
though due TO school holidays, eGuca-
ton seems dormant.
The other day some people passing
down Green street and by the Gram
mar and High Schools. we're heard 10
remark:
Teaching is sure soft job-look
The schools are closed, and the teach
ers away having a good time
Fearing that this. vacation fallacy
might extend further than those few.
let me say what the teachers are do
ing:
ONE-Mcre than half of them are TAX
ing a brief rest preparatory to going
10 summer schools-Harvard, Column
bia, University of Maryland, Maryland
State Normal School. University of
Virginia. Why do they go? Most OF
them go because they recognize their
needs-because they are professional,
and il there are any who are not pro-
| fessional. because the law of the State
OF Maryland requires summer school
courses, in some cases every. two
years. and in some every three years,
before the teachers certificate can be
renewed. Summer school extends
over six-week period
TW0-More than half of the re-
mainder. being paid on ten-month
basis. are working. tutoring, office
work. work at home. and whatnot. TO
pay their board until school ere
opens and their salaries and regular
work re-start.
THREE am frank to admit that
do not know what the others are do
ing. But If | may be allowed to guess
there are so few left some are rest
| ing. soine are seeking to regain
| health lost in service. but few are
| travelling tmore's the pity. for travel
would be invaluable to them in their
| classwo, k-if only living conditions
made it possible for them TO save a
little for traveD-and some | know
are OH their honeymoons Their
services. for the most part. are for
ever lost to the schools.
Sure, teaching is soft job All the
| teacher has TO do is to sit before a
class a few hours day, five days a
week; she has long holidays at
Christmas and Easter. and the whole
summer toeloaf.
Either there is a fallacy in the
above, or all teachers are liars, for
have never found one who would say
that he or she had soft" job
The fallacy is there. II is the fall
lacy of the person who looks at a
smooth running automobile going
down the road and remarks on its
silent action. forgetting the explo-
sions which must take place within
the cylinders TO provide power for its
