Abstract
The chief equipment a good teacher needs is a sympathetic understanding of child nature and child interests, and common sense or tact in the choice and use of methods of teaching suited to them. Anyone who has often seen the happy eager faces of all the children in a class of thirty-five or more can speak with authority. To discover the particular interests of each child; to choose those which have broad, various, and valuable educational opportunities, which can serve as ’’leads” to further interests and wider experience; to give children experience in living as it is natural to them and at the same time, more remotely, training for adult life both for vocation and leisure; and to guide them into many wholesome interests and activities which can be continued during their leisure hours, of which they will have an abundance even in adult life in the present machine age, is a tremendous undertaking for a modern teacher, but a privilege as well.
