PRESIDENT SPEAKS ON AIM OF COLLEGE

"Can Continually Link Pedagogy Of Present To Teaching

Of Future"

TEACHING IS PROFESSION In a recent address to the (acuity,

President A. K. Drtibachor explained the way in which Slate College attempts to carry out ils aim, a professional Irniu-ng education for High School teachers, 'New York Slate Education," in print­ing (he address, MVS, "ll is (he clearest statement we ha\c ever seen of (he peculiar function of a college for high .iliool teachers. President Dntbachcr has accomplished the impossible al the •ilate College—a liberal arts course lead-' ing fairly and honestly to the customary bachelor's degree and al the same time directly and adequately to the high school' classroom." The President first justi­fied the claim of leaching to the name of a profession, and then explained Stale College as a professional college, lie said:

"The claim that leaching is a profes­sion is based on the proposition that there is a clearly defined body of knowl­edge and an accompanying body of special skills which arc indispensable to the suc­cessful practitioner, We have irre­vocably turned our backs on the old belief that anyone who has a knowledge of the subject mailer can, by that fact alone, leach that subject matter.

"The State College for Teachers is dedicated to the professional ideal for high school teachers.

Well Selected Content, Comprehensive and Sympathetic Knowledge Is Necessary, President Declares In Address

"VALENTINE REVUE" FEATURES GYM FROLIC

Judging by 'numbers, the mid-winter gym frolic of last Friday evening was the most popular yet held. Since St. Valentine's Day was so near, the program was in the form of a skit, "Valentine Revue," written and directed by Kathar­ine Blenis, The entertainers were Mar-cella Street, Leah Cohen, Violet Pierce, Ruby Merman, Dorothy Terrell, and Marjoric Young. Musical readings and novelty dances were interspersed with puns on College folk: Why Kent Pease-wears a hair net; why Ruth Ettipie will catch the measles; why Ethel DuBois walks in Washington Park; and Prom reminiscences which had not before leaked out. The players were accompanied at the piano by Cornelia Williams. The gym was cleverly decorated in red and white. Refreshments were soft drinks and valentine cakes. Georgianna Maar, assisted by Margaret Stoutcnburgh, directed games for the entertainment of the guests, and Dorothy Kabie and Bertha Zaj-an played for dancing.

MILNE ORCHESTRA TO APPEAR AT TWO PLAYS The Milne High School orchestra will

appear before the College student body Thursday evening, March 4, when it will give a short program in connection with the advanced dramatics class' program of plays.

French, Spanish, German, Biology, Phy­sics, Chemistry,' Physiography, Govern­ment, Commerce, Home Economics, Music, Art, all are treated from the viewpoint of a high school subject. Such subjects as Psychology, Sociology, Eco­nomics, Philosophy, must he added to our curriculum to round out a libera education in the generally accepted ;euse. Their intimate relationships to the high school curriculum is of course obvious.

"The content of all non-professional courses should be selected with reference to its professional implications. They are first of all of the same general sub­stance as high school work in the same department. Thus 'English Literature' •oiirses in college are properly compar­able to the high school assignments in literature; 'History of the U. S. since 1850' is similarly comparable to the American history of the high school; and the same is true in foreign languages, iclencc, mathematics. Hut the college course goes deeper. It seeks to establish standards of judgment, to form canons of taste, to make acquaintance with scientific method, to fit the future teacher for his sphere of intellectual leadership in several lines. To accom­plish this, the college course goes as far beyond the high school content as time, and circumstance permit, But the con­tent of these non-professional courses must nevertheless be selected with special reference to its use by the future high school teacher. Therefore, since the high school teacher is not a specialist in English or in mathematics or in physics, but a teacher, it becomes necessary to choose content wisely even within the limited field of an accepted subject. In the training of high school teachers we must give strong preference to that con­tent which has pedagogical significance because we aim at the expert teacher, not at the specialist; our ideal is the skilled teacher who is professionally keen and alert, not the linguist, or critic, or historian, or physicist, or scientist.

"The method of the college classroom I must be pedagogically correct and should reveal its form and purpose to the student 30 clearly and forcefully that it becomes part of the student's own professional equipment. Our classroom procedure must he animated by a distinctly profes­sional purpose. Given a well selected content and a comprehensive and sym­pathetic knowledge of high school prob­lems, it still remains to develop a method that is so transparent and self-evident ihtit the student absorbs its form and spirit.

"Our pedagogy may be positively stated. Since the State College student is an embryo teacher, it is our duty to expose the details of our method of

Continued from I'IIBO One teaching. Let the student know why you proceed as you do. The best teaching is concrete. The best results can follow only from a lesson that is related to the Undent's experience and attainments. Vhcrc the student's future is so clearly

defined as in our classrooms, it becomes a natural and even inevitable part of our teaching process to show at every step, how the material is articulated with the future work. While we teach a poem or rate a theme, wc can with propn'ety call attention to our method in so far as it will be applicable to the student's own work to come. In our field work in botany or in our prepara­tion of specimens for the biological laboratory, we can with good purpose call attention to our pedagogical plan. That is, we can continually link the pedagogy of the present to the teaching process of the future.

"To state the matter succinctly, pro­fessional motives must motivate our work throughout. This is in accord with the modern spirit in education. The Stale College for Teachers has its motive written in its name and no student may for a moment forget that motive without stultifying himself. And the teaching staff owes it to its own professional integrity to give to the State of New York a graduate that is professionally fit and professionally alert; by using an educating content that has distinct pro­fessional use; and by doing our daily work under the drive of professional motive. Our professional character is especially indicated by the internship required of every senior student. Every device of instruction, every form of class procedure, every bit of special method is put to test, and the beginnings of professional skill becomes apparent.

"Our ideal is to place the young high school teacher in his first teaching posi­tion with three well marked character­istics, (a) He must know his subject; (h) he must know the fundamentals of the specialized knowledge which is the science of education; and (c) he must have proved his skill in instruction to the point where he has confidence in him­self.

"Wc develop each of these three characteristics by placing him in charge of a high school class where he is re­sponsible for the classroom atmosphere. Supervision is friendly, ultimate, con­structive, but the supervisor may not relieve the practice teacher of his full responsibility, It is sometimes a heroic process, but the professional qualities ultimately assert themselves and the young teacher emerges triumphantly with a keen sense of achievement. To that final victory, wc are nroud to be­lieve wc have contributed the composite professional elements already described.''

BOOK OF VERSE WILL APPEAR ABOUT MAY 1

All material for the Book of Student Verse will be in the hands of the printer by March IS, according to arrangements made public Monday by Sara Barkley, '27, the business chairman. Selection of material is progressing rapidly. The book is to be bound in limp imitation leather, ornamented with the College seal. It will be ready for distribution on or about May 1, a month earlier than the date first planned.

START CAMPAIGN FOR PENCIL SHARPENER

Miss Helen Fay, manager of the Co-Op, has started a campaign to secure several pencil sharpeners for use of the students. It is planned to place these sharpeners where they will be convenient and accessible to all stu­dents. There is a box in the Co-Op and you are asked to drop in one cent as your contribution.

The management of the Co-Op will willingly send books from the erntal shalvcs to any student who is ill if the name of the student together with his address and title of the book desired is left at the Co-Op. The regular price will be charged and the regular rules will apply to books sent out un­der these conditions.

DEFENDS PLEDGE TO REPORT INFRACTIONS OF PROPOSED SYSTEM

Editor of the News: The question of an honor system .tug

jested itself a few years ago, li wa-favorably discussed In the student a-scmbly which appointed n committee i•> co-operate with the faculty In the fm mation of a satisfactory plan, This com mittce formulated a plan which was in,I considered acceptable by Dr. liruhneln r because of the omission of an arrange ment for a voluntary pledge to report infractions. The committee then made a revision removing this objection Upon submission to the student body ii overwhelmingly accepted the proposition to adopt the superstructure of the lionoi system, while the concrete foundati n which it must rest, the pledge to report, was as overwhelmingly voted down.

This rejection seems to have been based on a misguided application oi ,i .supportable sentiment. In childhood v,< have the nursery-rhyme inculcalioi "tittle, tattle, tattle tale, shame on yon ' There exists also the natural histoid > group solidarity, clan and clique loyalh Later, in our study of history, we develop a natrual antipathy to spies, paid n formers, traitors-in-oiir-midst and tlieii like.. In the troubled, facetious linn of the past, communal protection ami safety necessarily implied abhorrence to the informer,

What is regrettable, however, i retention of tin's sentiment in an lightened democracy. It can cnticei >e of value to a certain stratum o clcty. In circles where the "squc rs the social lener, he who has a idea of the interdependence of corripopani units of society cannot flourish.

Obviously, we have that idea, even though it may he partially indistinct Our institution should be a mutual democracy of the highest order. That term may be defined variously. Hui it must be predicated on the conception that the enforcement of salutary laws, legally enacted by the majority is necessary to the existence of a democracy. Likewise must we feel that their infraction b not an individual matter but a subject " !

•oeinl welfare. What Is for the good or ill of one is for the good or ill of all

The individual who is willing to keep the undoubted good of an honor system from the student body is hardly wiilr. 'f protection] He aids in permitting a possible reflection on the worth of die •choid. He is directly responsible foi She imposition on the great majority oi an unnecessary restriction. He is a mockery to the ideals of the leachini: profession and I feel that his eliminaiio'i would be for the good of the service "Why should persons who are doing u-. mischief be suffered to continue to do so."

This proposition unquestionably is de­batable, It seems to me however, ttt.it our ideals of democracy and our eon rcption of the superior social service of 'he teaching profession are consideration transcending in importance a perverted, Underworld infiltration of ethics,

Joseph K. Salmon, '27.

STATE COLLEGE NKWH, FEBRUARY 10, 19VC5 Pago Three

DR. HOMER SPEAKS OH L i C l l FAITH

Former Dean Recently Visited Scenes Of Lincoln's Years

As Lawyer

LIFE HAD FOUR EPOCHS Dr. Harlan II. Horner, former dean,

addressed b'Qtll sections of the assembly, Friday, Dr. Horner's subject was "The Growing Faith of Abraham Lincoln,

He divided Lincoln's life into periods, as follows: The wonder of the child; (he metal of the youth; the mind of the man; the sold of the president, On each of these periods, he elaborated, likening the life of our ideal American to the gradual ripening of a harvest. "The wonder of the child, when a tot at his mother's knee was taught and guided into the paths of faith by her wisdom and his feet firmly fixed on the right road. The child was made a man when the hand of death struck down her who had been everything to him, and the first great sorrow, in the life of sorrow which followed, he witnessed at the grave of bis mother."

The metal of the youth was proven by bis upward struggle against fate, his self-education, and the triumph over the greatest sorrow of his life, the death of Anne Rtltlcdgc, The faces of '29 beamed joyously when Dr. Horner completed his sketch of the youth by saying that from the descriptions handed down to us by foregoing generations, be was sure, Lincoln, the ideal American, looked very much like a freshman.

Dr. Horner said of his manhood, "Although Lincoln was not a church member, he was a firm believer in the right, The sublime faith of the president wajs shown in that he more often c suited Cod, than his cabinet, in the trying times through which (he Great Captain piloted our Ship of State,, that Lincoln was. a miniature Christ, a chosen earthly messenger who lived in close companion­ship with God, and thai God and Lincoln saved our nation in its greatest crisis when destruction seemed inevitable." Dr. Horner did not apologize for linking the name of the Deity with that of Lin­coln, because of the great faith of the man (hat enabled him to be led by the hand of God and to sec the right, to gain strength to carry on.

Dr. Horner has recently visited several places in Illinois, that figured importantly in Lincoln's life and career. He had lately stood on the spot where Lincoln dismounted from his borrowed horse with his license to practice law under his arm and all his worldly possessions in his saddlebags. He also visited the place where Lincoln made bis farewell speech, at his departure for Congress, upon his election to the Senate. Dr. Horner said, "Just twenty-eight years later the whole country was plunged into its greatest mourning when Lincoln was slain by the hand of the assassin. Dur­ing liis life such enemies as Seward, Chase and Douglas showed their greatest devotion and respect to the man who pnwed himself 'A Man for the Ages.' "

Ethel DuBois led the assembly in a cheer for Dr. Horner. Myskania at­tended both chapel sessions in honor of Dr. Horner, and the first section sang the College song comprised in his honor.

School teachers remain too brief a time in the same position, for salary con­ditions in the profession makes it easier to secure an advance in salary by chang­ing positions frequently. President A, U. lirubachcr declares in a report to the College trustees. Pointing out that the mobility within the teaching ranks has now reached a point where from forty to fifty per cent of the teachers in the

! .itate arc new in their positions each year, Dr. Brubaeher says that "the inexperienced teacher expects to remain only one or two years in the first assign­ments,"

"This extreme mobility/' he says, j "obtains chiefly in the rural school, The | length of professional service is at best too short, it is estimated that the aver­age length of service for women teachers is less than five years for the citmtry at large; for men it is under ten years."

Dr. lirubachcr uses the figures regard­ing the shifting of teachers from position to position to illustrate the difficulty the College has in keeping in touch with Is "raduales

"But an additional difficulty, though non-professional, is to be found in the fac' that the woman lea her who mnrrie« •iiid retires from die profession, at once loses her identity and is often unwillln" to give the information about herself 'vh'cb the College needs for purpnfcs of statistical studies. We cannot know

accurately how effective the College is as :i teacher training institute unless we can :ount those who have made a career of caching."

The President described a post-card .•ensiis recently taken by the College of the 4,100 graduates who are still living.

"Of the total number, fifty-seven per sent, or 2,420 persons, responded giving complete information about themselves, 'caving from twenty-five to thirty-five jcr cent who are presumably living hut who arc submerged for some reason, whom we cannot coiml either as teachers or non-teachers. Of those who re­sponded,' fifty-five per cent arc now leaching; twenty-six per cent arc home-makers ; and seventeen per cent are en­gaged in other occupations.
