Author Description

Excerpt from Chestnut Burr, 1927 We Americans believe in education. Our faith in it is unquestioning. We be lieve in schools. We believe in schools because we regard them as the strongest safe guard of society, as the best means of developing individual personality, as the surest way of enlightening the entire human race; and We are certain that in them are laid the soundest foundations for national stability. The prime factor contributing to the effectiveness of these schools is the teacher. It is generally agreed that the teacher constitutes the heart and soul of the school.
