Mr. MacKenzie opened speech with a quote from Art of Teaching’, the book from which he borrowed the ti- | tle of his address: ‘The real job for which teachers are trained | and paid is to help the young to learn. It should not be neces- gary to make them learn.” He told his audience that: teaching | 4s an-art,—and that ‘‘there are | born teachers, but none that eannot achieve greater compe- tence by intelligent application | to a campaign or programme of | ren self-improvement ..

too many teachers the tech-

nique of teaching {s to tell the pupils what they need to know | for the next test of examination | and to leave their minds flabby | for }ack of real exercise. In- struction, in this narrow’ sense, is not-enough. It does: not -exer-

A teacher. said Mr. Mac- Kenzie, needs .three prime re- quisites: knowledge of his sub- fect, a sense of servic, and skill in classroom management. ‘Yet it is not enough to transmit your knowledge,’’ he continued, ‘‘Pu- pils should be learning through skilfii] questioning, to think for themselves and to express their own ideas effectively."
