Excerpt from The S. I. N. U. Obelisk, Vol. 7
There was a time when there was a deep-seated prejudice against the teaching profession, and through three hundred years of literature the pedagogue was held up to scorn by the satirist. He was pictured as a man who belonged to the humblest social class, an uncouth figure equipped with a sort of false scholarship, the butt of all the bright pupils: Shak'espeare, Sir Walter Scott, Goldsmith, Irving and Dickens, each in turn made him the subject of his raillery and the victim of his mockery. Then came a better day, when the teacher began to be looked upon as a leader, and for twenty-five years immediately preceding the world war the teacher held a somewhat enviable position in his community. 'he represented a better social class than the old time school-master; his salary permitted him, and his cultivated taste led him to dress in the same fashion as the banker, the lawyer or the doctor. Thecity superintendent became influential through his alliance with'the professional men and business leaders of the community. The high school principal won for himself a position among these men and a sub stantial place in the regard of the comniunity, because he was usually a member of scientific or literary organizations, and these afiiliations gave him standing in his community. His associates in the high school sharedhis place in the public regard; the teachers in the grades became leaders in the women's clubs, in the literary organizations, and in the civic federations of the communities.
