Lucius L. Gould, professor of geog-
raphy, State Normal school, Milwau-
kee, spoke on "The Necessity of Sharp
Differentiation Between the True
Function of the Teacher and the
Actual Function of the Administra-
tion." He said:
"Teachers as a class should under-
take the following constructive meas-
ures:
"A careful study of the details of the
administrative system in order that
these changes in the system may be
gradually effected.
"(1) The change from a military au-
tocratic form of school government to
some form in which co-operation rath-
er than dominance shall be the key-
note. Provision must be made for a
mutual criticism among the parts of
the whole.
"(2) A change to a system in which
the teacher is assured of a very defi-
nite area in which she functions as
expert.
"(3) A change which shall eliminate
the isolation of the teacher and which
shall substitute direct contact between
her and the people whom she gladly
serves, to whom she is really respon-
sible."
"School libraries are potentially as
important in present day education as
has been the part played by books in
the progress of civilization," said 0. S.
Rice, president library department,
Madison, Wis.
"Germany, in comparison with the
care she exercised over other matters
in education, paid little or no atten-
tion to school libraries. School libra-
ries are a liberalizing agency in edu-
cation. Hence, they did not fall in
with the narrow and selfish plans of
Prussianism.
"The past called the mighty force of
books and libraries into existence, the
present must train the rising genera-
tion to use that force for the greatest
good to the greatest number - for the
success of democracy."

"There are now upwards of 300,-
000 teachers in the United States that
have had no training beyond the high
school; there are 100,000 that are less
than 20 years of age; there are more
than 30,000 that have had no train-
ing beyond the eighth grade," stated
Miss Margaret S. McNaught, commis-
sioner of elementary education, Sacra-
mento, Calif., in her address on
"Better Teaching in Elementary
Schools."
"To raise the professional standard
of the school teacher there must be
then: increase of remuneration, im-
provement of conditions of school
work, fuller freedom from control by
politics or, by favoritism and higher
education."
John L. Tildsley, associate superin-
tendent school, New York City, spoke
on "The Reorganization of the High
Schools for the Service of Democ-
racy," declaring:
"Notwithstanding the marvelous
grdwth of high schools during the past
two decades, the high school has had
but a faint vision of its rightful place
in a democratic state. It has been
content to see millions of children pass
by its doors, other millions enter, re-
main but a brief time, and go forth
with a possibiliy not a probability of
realizing the chance that was theirs.
With this record of service not ren-
dered, it has prided itself on training
the leaders in our American democ-
racy."
"The lessons taught by. the War
must not be lost with the coming of
peace. American industry has justly
prided itself on its scrap pile. The
American Army has abolished the hu-
man scrap pile. The American high
school has heretofore scrapped its
aims, its methods, its organization.
