CONVENTION REPRESENTATIVES BACK
Attending the Anchorage Teachers* Con*
vention from here were Supt, James Hawkins
and teachers* Mr, and Mrs, Callaway,
At the Teachers* Meeting on Feb, 11th
at the school, Mr, Hawkins briefly refer
red to some of the assertions presented
by chief speaker Dr, I, James Quillan of
Ctanfofdi
Dr, Quillan made a point of reminding
the teachers to recognize the fact that
our society is changing rapidly, and be -
cause of this, we face vast professional
challenges. Atomic threat fi&is the
world with thoughts of disaster which
would minimize the need for education.
But, to teaoh well, the teacher MJ8T be
an optomist and genuinely believe what
is taught will be worth while and neces
sary to bring about the fulfillment of
the "Great American Dream"—a lasting
peace in the world. An optomistio view
point is the thing to heed.
Four educational values brought out
in this key speech were (l) all indivi
duals are worthy individually; (2) equal
ity of opportunity through education;
(3) cooperation necessary in solving pro
blems with self-discipline the ultimate
aim and goal; and, (4) reason must be
used rather than emotion in solving pro
blems.
Dr. (iuillan gave the following itemi
zation of skills taught In sohoolB todays
(l) readings (2) writing, (S) listening;
(4) observing, and (5) use of numbers,
plu8 the implied skill of getting along
with others,
Mr, Callaway remarked on the actuary
report realtive to the proposed Teachers'
Retirement bill, and Mrs, Callaway re
