the high ideals Of various individuals
and different vocations. Concerning
the teaching profession. the absence
OF selfish motives or thought of per.
sonal profit always has been charac.
teristic Of the persons who select
school work as a 1ife's occupation.
If monetary reward were the chief
attraction. the profession would have
dw1ndled greatly in numbers during
trying times in the past. Today, after
teachers salaries have been increas sed
materially, occupations that require
much less training and education pa
larger financial rewards. Teachers
should be paid SO they can live with
some degree of comfort and at the
same time be in a position to enjoy
many activities that will aid them
to become better teachers and more
useful members of the community in
which they live.
The Importance Of the teachers DO
sition is recognized constantly by
those who are laboring to oppose the
forces Of social evils Of all kinds,
Much IL said about crime waves and
gross misdemeanors Of all sorts. After
all Is said and done. there is little
encouragement to come from the re-
sponse that Is sought from the older
folks. It Is to the younger generation
that we must look II we are to bring
about any pronounced changes in ou1
mode Of living or thinking. The
teacher shares with the parent the
strategic position Of laying the founda.
tion for right thinking.

Hoover paid the following tribute to
teachers:
1.-The public school teacher cannot
live apart: he cannot separate his
teaching from his daily walk and con.
vereation. He lives among his pupils
during school hours. and among them
and their parents all the time. He
