Definite Qualifications
Demanded for Teachers
DES MOINES, la., Mar. 26.—(AP).
—Better prepared teachers is the
^ fundamental problem in present day
education, Dean W. F. Barr of the
college of education of Drake Uni
versity. declared recently in urging
that the National Education Associ
ation take steps to place the profes
sion on a higher plane.
“During the last 25 years there
* has been much talk about better
preparation of teachers,” Dean Barr
sair, “but all the agitation has end
ed in talk, just as many of our great
moral issues bring forth nothing
•better than talk.
£
j “The fact is that school people, as
i a whole, are afraid to take hold of
the problem of securing legislation
defining minimum educational quali
fications of teachers.
“To be a lawyer or a doctor, or to
be a minister in the older churches,
one must have preparation far be
yond anything required for the cer
tification of school teachers. Qual
ifications now involved in our legal
requirements for getting a certifi
cate to teach should be written up
by some person "with a sense of hu
mor, for they would be screamingly
humorous if they were not so trag
ic.
“In spite of the fact that we do
not require anything of our teachers
legally, we have educational organ
izations talking about minimum sal
ary laws, the poorly paid teacher,
and the necessity of having a secre
tary of education in the president’s
cabinet. All of which indicates that
we are merely trying to cover up
our own weaknesses.
“Whenever we get down to bed
rock and demand that we have leg
islation on teachers’ qualifications,
as lawyers and doctors have de
manded, and when we, as a group
of educators, can bring ourselves
to organize protests against low
qualifications, as the medical fra
ternity has done in recent years,
we shall begin to gain for ourselves
a respect that we cannot otherwise
j hope to have."
