122 HOW IMPORTANT IS A TEACHER? The teacher is, by all odds, the most influential factor in high school education . C ur- riculum, organization, equipment, important as they are, count for little or nothing except as they are vitalized by the living personality of the teacher. J. F. Brown, The American High School The teaching staff of any educational institution is its most essential item of equip- ment. Providing suitable teachers for American high schools is a task so colossal that our civilization is staggered in its effort to meet the demand ... Our ability or in- ability to provide competent teachers will determine the success or failure of the American experiment of universal secondary education. Dr. C. H. Judd, Phi Delta Kappan The forward movements in human welfare become possible only from correct teaching. Civilization advances in accordance with the quality of teaching service. The influence of the great teacher extends through many generations, doing high service beyond the limits of his natural life. It transcends geographical and national boundaries. W itness Socrates and Jesus. A. R. Brubacker, The Path of Learning Teaching is a profession. Today teachers are expected to be college graduates, we ll- trained in their teaching fields and certified by the State of Ohio. Now that you have reached that point in life where you must seriously prepare yourself for your life's work, we urge you to consider dedicating your life to the teaching of others. Teachers are the most important item in education; you can be important to teaching . HOWLAND CLASSROOM TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION
