NE of the most serious difi‘iculties that
faced Horace Mann, fifty years ago,
in his work for public education, was
the dense apathy and the even worse
antagonism of the teachers themselves.
They did not believe they needed any
special training to fit them for their
work and they did not want any.

Long after the teachers walked to a
realization of the value of professional train-
insr and began to avail themselves of it, the
general public remained indifferent, or hostile.

And even now the idea is entertained by not a

few that knowledge of a subject and the ability

to teach it are convertible or identical quanti-
ties.

 

But by far the greater number of both teach-
ers and general public are tO-day convinced
that teaching is a profession, one that touches
intimately all other professions—since everyone
must pass through the schoolmaster's hands
fiand requires for its successful practice a thor—
ough and special preparation. To such as object
that they cannot afford this special preparation,
the answer is, that the properly prepared teacher
is sure of more money [or his services than can
be earned by the ill-equipped.
