ASSESSING THE TEACHER.
“Education is to-day at this critical and d.fficult’ period of our national history, of supreme and vital importance If we are to recruit into the teaching profession men and women of high talents and gifts who will seek to achieve the ideals and objects which we have in view, we must maintain a good, if not a high standard of remuneration. 'The school teacher, in my view, deserves the admiration and gratitude of the community. His material and social rewards are modest, jn the reconstruction which is before our national life, fundamental amidst the urgent needs is that we should so maintain, if not increase, the social consequence and money reward of the teacher that young men and women of first-rate ability shall not be frightened away into other modes of life.”— Alderman J. H. ,S. Aitken at an education meeting in England.
