Teacher Rating
(Editor's note: The followinr editorial is the second in a series
explainer why Nebraska should have a teacher ratine system.;
Colleges and universities using- such systems were contacted in com-j
piling- the information.)
There is a myth in manv colleges that if a teacher
knows his subject, he can teach successfully. Those who;
believe in this myth contend that giving attention to the(
method of presenting a subject constitutes misdirected ef
fort and sheer waste of time. It is unfortunate that in some
quarters too much emphasis is placed on the instructor
having a thorough knowledge of his subject.
This should not be used, however, as an argument .
against the devotion of a reasonable part of the instructor's .
attention to those aspects of his work which are usually;
included under techniaues of teaching. It is axiomatic that!
thorough knowledge of subject matter is the first and most
fundamental prerequisite of successful teaching. Very little
observation, however, is necessary to convince one that
such thorough knowledge of subject matter is no guarantee
of ability to teach.
College teachers are given little, if any, systematic!
training inmethods of teaching. The typical graduate
school prepares one for research rather than teaching.!
The difficult art of teaching, of effectively guiding the
development of minds, is acquired largely through a waste
ful trial and error method.
Good teaching requires the instructor to have ade
quate information concerning the responses of students.
It is not what is presented to a student that educates him,1
but the educative value is in the responses he makes. Thej
instructor must also have the ability to create and hold thej
interest of students, to evaluate the understanding and in
sight of students, and to adjust content and method to the
students' level of appreciation and understanding. !
What do students really think of their instructors?.
Does the average college teacher know, or does he care
to know? Perhaps he is happier in his work if he does not;
know. But too many teachers have the "student be damned" i
attitude. Nevertheless, student attitudes toward teachers,'
next to the learner's intelligence, are probably the most im
portant factors in the learning process.
A system whereby students rate faculty members on
their teaching performances could become a valuable in
strument for self-improvement in classroom procedure in!
the hands of intelligent teachers. Only as the teacher be
comes aware of opportunities for self-improvement will he
make the most of them. Only by accident will the teaching
of one who is ignorant of the reactions of his class be
effective.
A teacher rating system could easily bring to light:
certain defects in an instructor's performance defects
which he does not even know exist. i
Editorial
J. Everett Long, registrar of West Virginia university,
says that guidance of the potential college student should
begin in the tenth grade or earlier. Long, writing in a pub
lication of the National Education association, declares
that there is a critical nation-wide need for more scien
tific study of the individual so the preparatory school and
college may jointly counsel the student in selecting the
educational program for which he is best suited.
The 12-naee nicture article nn Rip-ma P.i fratcrnit v
which appeared in Life magazine is the first publicity,
we've seen in quite some time that even leans toward
the good aspects of fraternities. Fraternities have been'
under fire agr: deal during recent years. Showing the'
other side of the story once in a while indicates that the
American press still maintains its principles of fairness. I
!
Class discussion periods are intended to be sort of
a 'laboratory' in the democratic method. We are ex
pected to go to them with definite ideas based on reading;
but we must also be willing to alter our opinions in the
light of other evidence in the opinions of classmates. In
fchort, we are expected to find a way out of our confusion,!
or our prejudices or our previous ignorance of some of thei
aspects of American life by forming a rational basis of
belief which will stand up under the cross-questioning of
our classmates and our instructors.
We are agreed that the professor should not lecture
straight from the book and that he should attempt to put'
the student in a learning situation. By putting a student!
into a situation where he would be forced to think and;
use the knowledge he was getting from the course, the'
instructor could better judge the student's improvement1
and thereby grade him in a fairer manner. i
Th library employees are down in our book as a
group of people who do more than their share of service
for the campus. The average student is lost from the'
irioment he passes through the building's swinging doors.;
And there is the librarian, ready to help him find what he1
seeks, willing to spend hours assisting him with his re-1
search. Always courteous, always helpful . . . yet the'
librarian, in addition to nerfnrmi Tier r.oruio f r. r- t nrlrf r-
and instructors, does his part in making book traffic a
simple and efficient operation.
This is one for the books! A prospective book buyer
walked into one of the campus bookstores last week to
purchase a certain book. The clerk brought a used book
out marked $4.00 and said he would have to ask the de
partmental manager about how much it would sell for
Misunderstanding, the manager brought the book back and
a he would give the "buyer" 75 cents for the book.
Amazed, the buyer explained he wanted to buy the book
not sell it. He paid $2.80 for the book. Not bad profits eh'

Born nearly 12 years ago, the
Student Union was seen by many
as a very healthy and robust
baby healthy because it was
built without hazarding Univer
sity finances, and robust because
it was a big enterprise from the
very beginning.
However, its founders decided
that such a youngster would al
ways need strong parental care
and they defined that the opera
tion should be primarily directed
by students.
So those who fought eight
years for its erection, provided
that there should be a board of
'managers with students carrying
the most weight. A nominal stu-
dent fee at fall registration
helped pay Union expenses. Why
shouldn't the present investors

..marriage cc u.o iins . . .
When a Japanese bride-to-be committed suicide be
cause she thought she couldn't cook and sew well enough
to get married, she made news.
It would be even bigger news if an American girl did
such a thing. Unfit7 for marriage spells only divorce here.
I The suicide victim is our society.
I The National Institute for Human Relations says
American brides are becoming more and more inadequate
for marriage. Head of this institute lists ten ways that
girls fail to measure up:
One. They are too anxious to put their marriage
on a 50-50 basis. (60-60 is safer.)
Two. They have dangerous delusions about ro
mance. (When the mad magnetism ends, they just get
mad, period.)
Three. They don't know what a thimble is.
Four. They are brittle and lack stamina.
Five. They think babies are all right, but
Six. They are too apt to be assertive. (More flies
are caught with sugar . . .)
Seven. They know too much about sex and too little
about love.
Eight. They can't make up their minds what they
want in life.
Nine. They are restless from overstimulation.
(Women are more emotionally on edge than ten years ago,
according to psychological tests.)
Ten. They are sabotaging the institution of marriage.
The statistics are not in favor of the college-trained
girl either. With 500,000 girls getting married every
season, every girl should take an honest look at herself.
Taking stock before marriage may help one not to come
out on the short end after marriage.
The institution of marriage is certainly an asset for
women, whatever else it may be too. The women of
America are only cheating themselves if they don't con
tribute to the dignity and prestige of marriage.
Divorce is a millstone around society's neck. Suc
cessful marriage is a milestone. From the Oklahoma
Daily.
