Abstract

The ordinary individual believes implicitly in the principle of causality, whether he has learned to couch it in the precise language of the metaphysician, "Every effect requires a sufficient cause", or, whether to his untutored mind "Some­thing don't happen from nothing" A stranger travelling the length and breadth of this country could not fail to be im­pressed with the material provisions which state and commun­ity have made for the education of America's youthful generation. Buildings rivalling each other in beauty of architec­tural design, equipment of a superior order, rolling campuses of inviting beauty,--these would be the first characteristics of our educational system to attract his notice. Visits to the classrooms to observe the actual teaching methods employed would disclose the fact that our schools no longer operate on the one-time almost universally accepted proposition that "Teachers are born, not made". Men and women to whom teaching is both an art and a science, persons trained in the profession of instructing others, are demanded today.
