ETTER EDUCATORS:
Dr. Misner Urges Teachers
To Assume Responsibilities

Teaching will become a pro-
fession only when "we ourselves
become willing to accept profess-
onal responsibilities", according
;o Dr. Paul Misner, superinten-
lent of schools at Glencoe, Ill.
Dr. Misner spoke yesterday on
'Toward a Profession of Teach-
ng" at the tenth in the current
eries of lectures being sponsored
by the University of Michigan
School of Education at University
High School.
Jnusual Opportunity
"We have an unusual opportun-
Dr. Moelimann
To Give Views

ity to emphasize the need for
making teaching a profession,"
Dr. Misner said. He added, "In-
creased salaries alone will not
achieve professional status for
us."
To say that the salaries of be-
ginning teachers should begin at
a prescribed figure "makes no
sense whatever, unless the quali-
fications are described," Dr. Mis-
ner asserted. "Schedules that pro-
vide automatic increases without
any attempt being made to evalu-
ate individual competencies will
not long command the respect or
support of the public," he added.
Annual Living Wage
The \lecturer emphasized that
teachers should be paid an annual
living wage with the responsibili-
ty for doing a year's work. "Un-
der the conditions of year round
employment," he said, "provisions
can be made for teachers to en-
gage in extended study and travel,
or in community educational ser-
vices through the summer months,
or in camping and recreational ac-
tivities for children and youth."

U' Professor
Says Creeds
Divide Schools
Public schools are capable of
preserving the spiritual values in
our democratic heritage and of
developing high ethical character
without religious instruction
which would serve only as a di-
viding influence, according to
Prof. Claude Eggertsen of the ed-
ucation school.
Prof. Eggertsen, who spoke
Thursday on "The Problem of Re-
ligion in the Public Schools" at
University High School, asserted
that religious instruction would
focus attention on issues which
divide men rather than upon ac-
tivities which unite them. The
introduction of religion into the
curriculum would subject child-
ren from minority groups to in-
justices he said.
Through meaningful group ac-
tivities and from actual experi-
ence with community affairs the
school builds respect for human
personality and responsible par-
ticipation in family and commun-
ity life, Prof. Eggertsen said.
He added that the success of
American democracy depends on
sympathy a n d understanding
among all groups. The public
school is the place where child-
ren may work together without
regard to the religious affiliation
of their parents, he said.
Educators who oppose religious
instruction in public schools feel
that organized religious groups
may create their own opportuni-
ties to teach religion, Prof. Eg-
gertsen commented. School teach-
ers of all denominations stand
ready to aid in the building of
church schools that have "the
power to attract and hold child-
ren," he said.
'All My Sons'
To Be Filmed
Alumnus Sells Play
To Universal Studio
U n i v e r s a 1-International has
bought the moving-picture rights
to the New York Critics Prize
Play, "All My Sons," by Arthur
Miller, for a reported $150,000.
Miller, the author of "Focus"
and "Situation Normal," won two
minor Hopwood awards in dra-
ma in 1936. He was awarded
$1,000 in 1937 for his play, "They
Too Arise," in a contest sponsor-
ed by the Bureau of Plays.
The heroine's brother may be
eliminated asya character in "All
My Sons" by Chester Erskine,
who will adapt and produce the
picture, according to Paul S. Na-
than, writing in the Publishers'
Weekly. Some of the brother's
activity, he says, may be assigned
to the hero.
