 TWENTY YEARS
From The Gateway Files of

school teachers have recently been preparing for
the shaping of their own conduct. The teachers of
81 states already have such codes, and is being
prepared for the National Education association.
In the code adopted for New York state teach
ers the statement is made that the greatst fault of
which teacher can be guilty, is that of "profes-
sional stagnation". The teachers are warned
against an intellectual capitalization" which
makes their service mechanical.
That means getting in a rut and staying there.
In every occupation there are people who get into
that stagnant way They are like still pool where
the same water just stays day after day. Naturally
it gets covered with scum and weeds. What such
a pool needs is stream of clear running water
flowing through it. And what human thought and
labor need is clear stream of fresh original action
flowing through
In every occupation there always new ideas
and improvements new methods and ways of work
ing, with which one should become familiar and
some of which at least practical and helpful.
If people do not study those new methods and try
to improve their ways of working, they fall behind
The progress of the times.
Whether person works with his head or his
hands, he must constantly be using his brain to see
that he is not tramping around in a circle, like
