COLBY COLLEGE.
Prof. Andrews Talks
at Monthly Meeting
of Kappa Phi KAPPA

At the last regular montAly meeting
of the Kappa Phi Kappa fraternity. the
professional educational organization
at Colby College, Prof. John C. S. An
drew of the college faculty was the
guest of honor and the main speaker
of the evening. The banquet was held
at Harmon's Cafe.
Professor Andrew spoke upon Some
Practical Considerations for the Teach
ers," the first of which was Where
Do I Want to Be at ASP" Professor
Andrew claimed that it is needful that
every prospective teacher ask himself
or herself that important question
since the man or woman at that age is
fixed for life. He said that plans must
be formulated now and the Temptations
carefully laid If the educator is to find
himself in the later life occupying the
position he most desires. Frequent
teaching positions follow one another
in an honored and definite sequence and
consequently the educator who would
arrive at a definite place or level in
life must study early the way of pro-
gresS, he said.
A mong the other points in Profess
sor Andrews lecture were: After the
teacher finishes his graduate work in
the university he is bound to- stagnate
ana at the time WneH ne mas completed
his formal professional education he
is in the van Of progress. often little
ahead of the times; but as soon as he
begins the actual teaching the de-
mands of his work so completely alb
serb him that he allows all of his in
terest in the onward Strides of his
chosen profession to lag behind and he
soon wakens to the fact that he is far
behind in the most advanced thought.
Therefore every teacher must guard
against this creeping stagnation. This
may be accomplished by reading the
