Move Gains to Raise Quality Of Teaching in u S.

Phi Beta Kappa key. will not
infuse youngsters with a thirst
for knowledge unless the teach
er has the ability to inspire.
What does it take to be a
good teacher in addition to
learning? There are many es-
sential traits: Love Of children,
a warm. outgoing personality, a
good sense of humor, a sense
Of fairness and, of course, pa
tience.
The national tests are not
used as the sole criteria in as
sessing the future teachers.
In an interview with this re-
porter, DR.. Arthur L. Benson,
director of the teacher exami-
nations, said that the tests
measure competencies expected
of every teacher.
He pointed out that three
States, Florida, South Carolina
and West Virginia, use the ma
tional tests as a basis of teach
er certification. In some so
school systems these tests must
be taken as a requirement for
appointment.
Among these systems are
those in Atlanta, Baltimore,
Houston, Philadelphia, Pitts
burgh, st. Louis, San Francisco
and Washington, D. C.
Number will Increase
During the decade Of the
l960s, with the need for still
greater numbers of teachers,
the National Teacher Exami-
nations are expected to grow
in number. Although relatively
few take the tests now, the
principle Of Nationwide stand
ards has been established.
Leaders in education from
all parts of the country serve
as advisers to the Educational
Testing Service to shape the
character and policies Of the
national program. Specialists
in various teaching fields out
line the content Of the exami-
nations and write or review the
questions.
National examinations, OBJ
jectively administered, can help
raise our teaching standards.
The colleges and universities,
as well as the students them
selves. know that a measuring
rod is available. In time the
teacher in a backwoods hamlet
may have the same skills and
academic knowledge as the
teacher in a plush suburb of
New York, st. Louis or Denver.
That is how it should be.

They will be raised when SAL
aries are increased, so as to
attract the best minds Of the
country into the profession.
A start toward national
norms" for teachers has been
made by the Educational Test
ing Service of Princeton, N. j,
This service was founded in
1947 by three major educational
groups-the American Council
on Education, the Carnegie
Foundation for the Advance
ment of Teaching and the
College Entrance Examination
Board. 1t supervises and pre-
pares more than l million
tests annually; the bulk of
these are found in the college
entrance testing.
Ten years ago, the Educa-
tional Testing Service expert
mented with a national test for
prospective teachers. Only a
handful took the test. However,
the value of the test, providing
as it did a means to compare
teachers from all sections of
the country, soon became ap-
parent. Last year more than
5000 men and women, train
ing to be teachers, took the
test.
Next Saturday the National
Teacher Examinations will be
held in scores of cities through
out the country. Between 15,-
900 and 10000 college grad
yates, future teachers Of Amer
ica, will spend a full day seek
ing answers to a variety of
professional questions.
Unique in Country
This is the only national test
for teachers conducted in the
United States. 1t is designed
to measure the technical skills,
as well as the basic knowledge
of the teachers-to-be. How
much does a teacher know
about contemporary events?
What does he or she know
about discipline in the class
room? Or about science?
The tests do not measure

combine to make the master

BY Or. BENJAMIN FINE

A Nation wide campaign to
raise teaching standards is un-
der way.
Even though the United
States Office of Education a
week ago reported a teacher
shortage of nearly 10000, most
States have begun to toughen
up the requirements for teach
ing. 1t is no longer true, as it
was generation ago, that any
one can teach if he knows how
to read and write.
Major teacher conferences
have taken teacher quality" as
their themes. The National As
ISOLATION of Secondary School
Principals, when it meets in
Portland, Greg, later this
month, will take as its motif
Quality Education - Today's
Priority"
The National Education As
sociation. leading teacher
spokesman in the country, has
called for increased emphasis
on quality in education. And,
even more basic, quality in the
training and preparation of
teachers. Similarly, the Ford
Foundation, through grants to-
taling more than $40 million,
has sponsored new methods to
train prospective teachers.
Standards Vary
There are no recognized
"norms" for teachers. Each
State, and indeed, each village,
town or city, sets its own
standards. A person teaching
In East Meadow, Long Island,
for example, where the stand
ards are high, may be far SUI
perior to a teacher employed in
in a rural village in Mississippi
or Georgia, where standards
may not be as rigid. And there
might be a similar difference in
salary.
Inasmuch as the schools are
not governed by Washington,
1t will be impossible to develop
national regulations. Som e
States require five years of col
lege preparation. leading to the
masters degree, before a
teacher is granted a certificate.
In other States two years be-
yond a high school diploma is
considered ample.
Beginning Is Made
Teachers standards will be
raised, educators agree, not by
Federal fat, but on a volun-
tary basis by those who believe
In the Importance of education.

November Fl

The season has been ideal
for garden work the past week
and undoubtedly many were
able to get some spading as well
as leaf raking done. Also the
bulb planting, with the excep-
ton Of late shipments Of lily
bulbs, should be finished as
soon as possible. Certainly there
was an abundant supply of top
quality bulbs for all. The del
uge of leaves should have filled
most compost piles to capacity.
Time Saver
The mild weather and good
moisture condition gave most
gardeners an opportunity to get
much of their garden spaded.
This fall work saves much time
in the spring when wet soils
often delay spading. whereas
fall spaded ground needing only
a light raking can be prepared
quickly. Also. in the fall leaves
and other material may be
spaded into the soil and they
will have decayed considerably
by spring thereby improving
the soil. FAN Spading also helps
to control certain insects such
as the European corn borer-
when buried they seem to be

You Can Create
Beauty
With Flower.
SunfIower Disks, Oak Leaves, Pitcher
BY MRS. HERBERT n. GREECE

The time has come when
I wish to use some dried flowers
to emphasize the lull in my
garden.
Ever since I picked the SUM-
flower seed disks for drying
I have wondered about a con-
tainer large enough for their
arrangement.
Then. one day I saw the
perfect one. It was handsome
with a generous volume, and
it was of beautiful linear de-
sign and great stability. Its
color was the rich deep brown
of furnished copper.
My friend let me take the
pitcher home. There my young
est daughter took one look and
said: Where on earth did you
get the Minoan beauty" In her
art studies she had learned
about this jug with the TYPICAL
ly elongated vertical spout, its
beautiful transition to an oval,
heavy and fiat bottomed body,
the sassy perfect handle. Sim
plicity and beauty of proportion
were well remembered.
Her picture of the artifact
identified it as early Cretan.
about 1900 B.CD It was made
of fragile pottery and suggested
Egyptian or Messapotamian art
influence. If the copper re-
production has any history, it
Is unknown. but I feel that it's
beauty and quality of design
trail straight back into the
cultured past.
The heavy disks of the sum
flowers will unite well with this
container.s but only a large
space will respect the blending
of large scale vessels and plant
material. The sophisticated
simplicity of the jug will give
strong contrast to the coarse
plainness of the seed heads, but
through form relation, a match
will result. The plump cushions
of heavy seed. arranged in a
repetitious spiral pattern create
a stunning mosaic effect which
again contrasts with the jugs
smooth surface.
Only subtle colors prevail.
Light and dark gray disks,
stems, cream colored sepals. In
addition. reddish oak leaves
blend with the copper of the
container. A little gray bird
with soft brown wings rounds
out the color scheme.
Dry sand partly fills the jug,
green styrofoam (6x2x2) was
pressed onto a heavy nail
holder and then lowered onto

How to Grow Plants
In Your Basement

Of polyethylene should be

board) to hold the moist air.
A snug At will increase the
humidity of the air inside
without affecting the base
ment.
Watering can be handled in
several ways depending upon
the kinds of propagating be-
ing carried on. If in sand, daily
Swinging may be necessary. A
sand peatmoss mixture will
need watering every two or
three days. Plants growing in
soil may not need watering
that often. In some cases water
may be put in the tray to be
soaked up by the growing
medium. No hard and fast rule
can be given since conditions
will vary in each basement and
consequently the indoor gar
dener will need to watch his
greenhouse" closely until a
satisfactory watering program
can be worked out.
