BA BULLETIN 5 PERSISTENT.WORK NECESSARY There must be the most persistent work possible for the Department of Education with a Secretary in the President’s Cabinet. The importance of edu- cation in a Democracy entitles it to a seat at the President’s table. A knowledge of conditions in Washington leads one to urge upon educators much greater ac- tivity than ever before for educational measures. Education is not first in the thoughts of either the Cabinet or Congress. The views of educators are not al- ways taken seriously. A cabinet member is said to have no confidence in the judgment or ability of educators to aid in securing educational legislation. Sev- eral members of Congress do not hesitate to express similar views. These men at the head oj affairs in Washington are not opposed to education, and they do not dislike educators personally. They are in the habit of giving time and attention at points where pressure is applied and pressure is not applied in behalf of education. They have greatest regard for the men who apply the pressure, hence they honestly feel that the school teacher is lacking in vision and force. The hotels of Washington are filled with representatives of the railroads, the telegraph companies, the packing houses, the coal companies and many other in- terests. Interests both good and bad have their representatives here and they have their organizations thruout the country to force due consideration for their measures. Education has been alone in turning its needs over so completely to the initiative and unsolicted support of Congress. Educators must wake up and assume a position of leadership in forcing the attention of Congress to the importance of education. They must keep con- stantly before Congress the insistent demands of the people for better schools and wider educational opportunities. The cause is worthy and will justify activity and combined effort. THE VALUE OF PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION The National Congress of Mothers and Parent-Teacher Associations have national ideas of formulating plans for aiding in securing better salaries for teach- ers. The National Committees, State Sub-Committees, and Local Committees are being appointed at the present time for this special work. The committee in each state is to cooperate with the State Superintendent, and the committee in each community is to cooperate with the County and City Superintendents; in this work for better salaries. The Parent-Teacher Associations will keep in close touch with all teachers and other associations working toward the same end. The Mothers Congress is behind the Pittsburgh Prograin and thru its or- ganizations is definitely promoting National and State Legislation for schools. Better salaries for teachers is to receive special attention, as is also the National Education Association measure now before Congress, which provides for a Na- tional Department of Education with a Secretary in the President’s Cabinet, and for doing away with illiteracy, Americanizing foreigners, increasing physical education and health service, and equalizing educational opportunity. Every teacher in the United States should be interested in these Parent- Teacher Associations, Teachers should be interested because of the special help in managing their own schools and in keeping the work of the schools in touch with the work of the home and community. They should be interested because the great work which these organizations are doing, is a work which directly benefits the schools and enhances the interests of teachers. Where Parent-Teacher as- sociations have not already been formed, teachers will do well to get in touch v THE N. EB A BULLETIN reenter Sanaa ee ee eS oe Ss ee with parents and aid in forming such an association. Teachers have no better friends in the community than the members of the Parent-Teacher Association The Executive Committee of the N. E. A. requested the Chicago committees not to arrange for expensive entertainments and receptions at the meeting of the Department of Superintendence. NEW FIELD SECRBTARY Honorable Hugh S. Magill, of Springfield, Illinois, is the new Field Secretary, He began work on full time for the National Education Association, January 8 He is an educator of high standing and has had experience as a member of the Illinois Legislature. He championed successfully the teachers’ salary, pension and other educational bills in the Illinois Senate. His work with Congress and the be. ginning he is making in a nation-wide campaign for increast salaries for teachers already shows results. A few days after beginning his work here in Washington Mr. Magill held con- ferences with the American Federation of Teachers and the Federation of Labor which has resulted in securing the hearty cooperation of these organizations in promoting our legislative program. This means that the powerful support of organized labor will be behind our Bill. President D, B. Waldo has done and is now doing efficient work for the N. E. A. but he finds it impossible to do in the time he can be away from his school, the work which should be done for the National Education Association, He will continue to devote some time to N. E. A. work, but he turns over with pride, as he says, the reins of responsibility to Mr. Magill. President Keith, of Indiana, Pennsylvania, will continue the fine statistical work he has been doing for the N. E. A. A PLEA FOR PROFESSIONALLY TRAINED TEACHERS No man of prominence has emphasized the value of normal instruction with better logic than the late J. Sterling Morton: “We demand educated educators. We demand professionally trained teach- ers, men and women of irreproachable character and well-tested abilities. We demand from our legislature laws raising the standard of the profession and ex- alting the office of the teacher. As the aoctor of medicine or the practitioner at law is only admitted within the pale of his calling upon the production of his parchment or certificates, so the applicant for the position of instructor in our primary and other schools should be required by law to first produce his diploma, his authority to teach, from the normal schools. “We call no uneducated quack or charlatan to perform surgery upon the bod- ies of our children lest they may be deformed, crippled and maimed physically all their lives. Let us take equal care that we intrust the development of the mental faculties to skilled instructors of magnanimous character that the mentalities of our children may not be mutilated, deformed and crippled to halt and limp thru all the centuries of their never-ending lives. The deformed body will die, and be forever put out of sight under the ground, but a mind made monstrous by bad teaching dies not, but stalks forever among the ages, an immortal mockery of the divine image.” nece Tea that SA TR DE a o mm .* — a es yf THE N. E. A BULLETIN 7 anata ceca ata ie tain aaa a nai i Ai iia United States Senators and Congressmen often express the opinion that the necessary educational legislation will be past when teachers unite and go after it Teachers begin to realize that team work is necessary and they begin to realize that their cause is worth fighting for.
