Price Paid Very High.
Continuing her attack, DR.. War
rem stated:
II realize the strong argument in
favor Of permanent tenure is that
faculty need protection from poll
ticians or over-conservative trustees,
but the price which Is paid for 1t is
very high. But If the colleges will
refrain from the temptation of
choosing trustees merely in the hope
of increasing their endowments, and
will select those who will give the
institution liberal, intellectual and,
spiritual support as well as wise
practical guidance. this danger can
be largely eliminated.
"Why should we not consider this
way of guaranteeing academic free
dom rather than subjecting genera
ton after generation of eager COL
lege youth to the teaching of facul-
ties, many of whom were mistakes in
the first place or who have gone
dead on their feet through over
security?"
A. w. Merrill, superintendent Of
the public schools of Des Moines,
Iowa, scored petty jealousies, en-
vies. distrust and antagonism" as
the greatest obstacles to cooperative
planning in teacher education.
Asserting that educators tend to
become "individualiSts," he said that
"our devotion to the very purposes
for which we strive gives a wrong
perspective. Our own little field or
piece of work by its closeness shuts
out of our sight other work and
other workers. And what we do not
see and understand we fail to ap-
preciate."
