PERSONALITY GETS
PRAISE IN TEACHING
Teacher Council Favors Its
Recognition as Factor in
School System.

Should the personality Of school
teacher be taken into consideration
in determining her value to. the schoo!
system?
Some varied opinions on this ques-
tion were expressed by the teachers
themselves during a protracted dis
cussion on the proposed revision of
the teachers rating sheet at a meet
ing of the Teachers Council last
night, in the Franklin School. 1t was
ultimately agreed. however, that
teachers individuality does play an
important part in her work. and she
should at least be given a minimum
of credit for this asset. and a maxi
mum of credit for ability she demon
strates in classroom.
Mrs. Myrtle King Werner said that
personality enters widely into teach
ing. and the committee feels that it
should be included on the rating
sheet"
"A teacher may have a harsh. coarse
voice, but still have a fine person
atty" said one of the teachers. THE
teacher with such a voice is loved
by her pupils just as much as one
with a sweet, melodious voice.
"a teacher may not be exceptional
ly capable, but IL she has good per-
sonality she should be given credit
for it," added another teacher.
Motion to Strike Out Clause.
Discussion over the question was
precipitated by motion of dele
gate to the council to strike out
clause in the recommendations of the
committee on rating of the body. One
of the committees recommendations
was that the scale (meaning the rat
ing sheeD grant a maximum of credit
to teaching ability as demonstrated
in the classroom. and correspond
ing minimum of credit to personal
tiles" The clause, 'and a correspond
ing minimum of credit to PERSONAL
ities," was the one the delegate moved
TO have stricken out.
Other recommendation Of the COM
mittee which were adopted by the
council are:
That there be evolved a plan for
rating teachers that may properly be
used as basis for promotion, accept
able to the teachers. the superintend-
ent and the board of education.
That the elements OF the scale nave
the same meaning to all concerned
That the rating be done by more
than one officer.
That the terms of the rating be
such as to show a relatively small
group of superior teachers:
taken into advisory conference by the
rating officer and be given construc-
tive criticism and definite help"
In commencing the recomme nda-
tions of the committee. Supt. Ballou
emphasized that teacher with
mark of satisfactory" or under,
should not be promoted.
"A mark of satisfactory may be all
right in the scale of ratings" said DR..
Ballou. but it does not give ade-
Quate information regarding promo
ton in the ranks. We must reward
the superior service of a teacher and
distinguish between it and Others as
much as it is humanity possible to do
it,"
The council voted that the new rat
ing sheet be published and distributed
throughout the school system before
February l. 1929. Recommendations
of the committees on leave of absence
and substitute service were deferred
for consideration until the next meet
ing.

Senator Ball of Delaware will seek
to have the bill extending the Dis
trict rent act for two years from May

the Senate as soon as the Senate has
disposed of the agricultural appropri-
alton bill, which may be late today.

adopted, it is believed the bill will
