The lack of sympathy in the re- lationship between parents and teachers in only part of the sub- conscious conflict between them. while most parents would do every- thing in their power to insure that their own children receive the best possible education. while most of them are friendly to teachers when they meet face to face. no one who has ever taught. school can be ignorant of the degree to which psrents resent teachers as a group. They resent them for the most hu- man re¢.scns—becsuse they are so enormously dependent on them. Teachers are caretakers of their children. Teachers give their child- ren what they themselves cannot or will not give them-a training in the rudiments of learning and the capacity to take their place naturally in a larger social group than the family. If parents have any ambition: at all for their child. they are largely dependent upon that child's teacher: to fulfill it. Anyone familiar with labor dis- putes knows that the resentment felt by the general public against any group of striking workers is in exact proportion to the degree to which the public is dependent on the striking group. A nation- wide etrike of coal miners causes more anger in the press than :1 notion-wide strike of 1cngshore- men. partlc,-ulsrly if it takes place in the winter. Has anyone given sufficient serious consideration to the effect of a. nation-wide strike of public school teachers? It would cause hysteria. It would disrupt every home In the country. not be- cause of thwarted ambitions. nor even because of subconsc‘ rc- sentment against authority, but for still one more reason why parents do not like teachers. They are afraid to think what they would do without them during the five or six hours of every day when the teachers act as servants. tend- ing children in lieu of their moth- en.

LEVI be honest with ourselves. How long will our unconscious re- sentment against teachers prevent us from granting them a standard of living which will place them on an economic level with ourselves? How long is it going to take us to great teachers the prestige which the importance of their work de- serves? Or are we going to con- tinue to think of them as we do now. as a clue of superior servants. generally unreliable, occasionsuy noble and picturesque, upon whom we depend to have certain tasks performed which we are unable or unwilling to perform ourselves. Perhaps itwould beeaeiertogrant prestige to teach if we realized more fully the nature and demands of their walk. It is a commonly held -belief that teaching is an easy_ life because the teacher gets off at four every eftemocn, dou no work on Saturdays .uid has long ummer holidays. Yet no myth could be more contrary to the truth.
So for from lng easy. good teaching is one of he most arduous exnctlng and difficult tasks 1 hu- man being can perform. To teach well requires an unending_expense of s men or woman's spirit. There is no system. no formula, no train-

It is true that Wilson's last years in Princeton were distracted by an intramural controversy of violent severity. but it is also true that Wilson was a great teacher and the intensity which he summoned to his work was itself the main cause of the controversy which nearly mined his health.

Under the best circumstances the teacher deals with humanity in the rs-w. with a clamorous human- ity which in these days feels no reverence for elders and is quick to exploit every weakness of any- one in authority. By the constant exercise of wit, personality and such spiritual force as he possesses. the teacher must canalize the dif- fuse energies of growing children into tasks which few of them have an instinct to perform. only the most vital and capable of men and women are able to do this work well. We therefore do ourselves the greatest possible disservice in our obstinate refusal to make the teaching profession one which vital and capable people are eager to enter. It is ridiculous to expect a good teacher to be humble. on the contrary, everything possible should be done to foster his independ- ence and self-confidence. Not on man in five thousand can feel ooh- fldence and independence if he lives in poverty.
Right now is a very good time to stop our hypocritical pretense that it is impossible to improve the status of teachers in Canada. We can have the finest system of pub- llc education in the world within ten years of taking one necessary step: pay ourteachers at least three times what we pay them now and require a college degree from every one of them. It is idle to pretend that we cannot afford to do it. Of course we can if we 'wa.nt to enough. let; us be honest and toe- ognize that it is we ourselves who are responsible for the tragedy of our country's teachers. and for the fact that our public schools are at the present tl.me is national dis- grace.
