Excerpt from The Teacher and Old Age
The calling of the public-school teacher is not yet, in America, a profession. But everywhere the earnest friends of education are striving to transform teaching from a temporary and Often casual employment into a vocation exhibiting something of the systematic preparation, the stability, the progressiveness, and the dignity of a profession.
Some of the means that have been found help ful in improving the professional status of the teacher are: professional training, both before and during service; state certification; more per manent tenure; skilled supervision; promotion to higher rank or salary on the basis of merit; and more attractive financial compensation for work done.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the implementation of teacher retirement allowance (TRA) schemes in the United States and leading European nations where the majority have been in operation for over a century. The author traces the historical development of TRAs, highlighting the different approaches taken by countries to support and administer these plans. The book explores the arguments for and against TRAs, including the potential benefits and drawbacks for teachers, the education system, and society as a whole. It also examines the relationship between TRAs and broader social insurance programs, arguing that TRAs should be viewed as one component of a comprehensive approach to protecting workers from the risks of old age and disability. The author concludes by emphasizing the importance of TRAs in improving the quality of education and ensuring the well-being of teachers.
