Outline of prof.
Lectorc.
Through six years of visitation
of teachers of all grades in Ne
braska schools , I have earnestly
sought to discover the secrets of
success of Nebraska's strongest
teachers. Many teachers visited
have many strong points besides
those mentioned , but I have been
especially impressed with the work
of the teachers of whom it may be
said the following indicate the se
crets of their success individually :
1. Attractive personality. Per-
"sonality is born of ability to see
clearly what is to be done , and
power to devote one's whole en
ergy to doing it. The best teach
er is good looking not beautiful.
One who posseses sterling virtue.
2. Inspires each individual by
leading him to see that he can do
things well. The consciousness of
mastery of a task is the most in
spiring thing a teacher can bring
to a child.
3. The teacher's thorough mas
tery of essential branches. A
teacher's skill in this regard in
spires a wholesome respect. Should
there be any difference between
the teacher's opinion and that of
the text , the student would be
sure his teacher was right ; .
4. Cheerfully makes the most
of every situation does not quar
rel with her tools. Not the com
plaining kind. The children to be
taught are more essential to a
good school than the paraphernalia
of the school-room.
5. An artist in the use of sug
gestion does not carry her chil
dren over difficult places or on
long mental * efforts but shows
them how-to prevent weariness
byj ntensejnterest in their work.
6.rfier"1 xts are in the first
pupil's hearts.
tothe abound-
LMJTrf v. '
ing energy of the mischievous
child does not block his way but
leads him into a safer one.
7. She knew people and met
them as one of them. Gots ac
quainted with parents and their
ambitions for their children.
8. Her example exerts a whole
some influence upon her pupils ,
systematic , orderly , efficient.
9. "Fixes responsibility , and
credit clearly upon each individual
each gets just what he deserves.
She does not reprove an entire
school for the misdeeds of a few
she finds out the offender and deals
with him.
10. Is sunny and creates a
cheerful atmosphere in which
young characters develop.
11. She stands for morality ,
intelligence and patriotism. We
should have no respect for lawless
ness in our schools and colleges at
the present day. Schools should
stand for law , order and patriot
ism. Eespect begets respect.
12. Is glad at heart and not
jealous when others succeed.
When parents are dissatisfied be
cause teachers do more for their
neighbor's children than for theirs ,
it is well for them to see whether
their children ' have inherited as
much of a foundation for an edu
cation from them as their neigh
bor's children have from their par
ents. School and home have a
common problem. It is the busi
ness of all forces to co-operate for
the good of the child.
