Gs Thinking Out Loud By H. M. L. . ! . , { S = — J “When you and I were young Maggie,’’.most of the teachers in the*elementary schools were men. They were wont to use the ferrule and the primer to get themselves a stake, or to build a spring board, on which they launched into professional or business life. Some of them did very well, too. One young fellow of Scotch descent, who never wore a pair of shoes on weekdays until he-was well: past 16 years of age, began as’a school teacher, proceeded to the ‘job of county superintendent of schools, invested his savings in Nebraska ‘mortgages, during the winter when the farmers burned their -corn to keep warm, acquired thousands of acres of land, and was invited to a bank directorate following the boom that came after the depression, From there on he.-rose rapidly in the financial world until he owned most of the stock in the Omaha street railways, and finally some years ago retired to 160 acres in the Hollywood hills a a mansion among orange groves jae ‘The students who sat under this young school teacher knew something about life when they moved out of his jurisdiction. They could spell, figure, and use the English language correctly. One never hears the word ‘“‘grammar’’ nowadays. It has been softened to something more refined, no doubt. But the boys and girls in those days knew the word well. When their wits wool gathered the ferrule brought them back to earth, and to grammar, pronounced with a _ harsh, ‘nasal accent. This may be a personal obsession, but we do believe that boys should have men teachers. We notice that most successful private schools for boys do ‘have men teachers. By men teachers we do not mean that variety of male who by some fluke of fortune missea wearing petticoats, We think the army of school ma’ams who also use the teaching profession as a stepping stone to their careers, mainly in matrimony, has had a softening effect on the morale of the last two generations of American men. Tihe profession of teaching, ‘which we consider the most important in any civilization, has fallen into feminine hands, partly because the salaries paid are too low to tempt ambitious men to embark therein, and partly because of the fact that women have preempted the work of teaching throughout the land. Here and there in high schools we find men teachers, and, of course, “Gn practically all universities, save those for girls. This is as it should be. But during the really formative years of boys, they are under a petticoat regime and often, we believe, this influence retards or softens the sturdy masculine traits that boys should develop. Without doubt trends in family life are also are to blame. Fathers that leave all disciplining and training to the mothers of boys, are derelict of eourse, Too many boys never escaipe petticoat rule until they enter ~ high school. They get it both in school and at home, There has been too much of sparing the rod and spoiling the child. In the old days of male teaching in the elementary grades, children were not coaxed to apply themselves to their lessons. They did so aS a matter of course Boys that idled were in constan disgrace. A dreadful example to the rest of the school, and a painful example, since if exhortation failed, flogging was the rule. We daresay, that children with subnormal intelligence did thave a tough break. No doubt they did. But average scholarship in elementary §chool was high, and would undoubtedly rank well above standards of the three Rs of today. A gum chewing student would . be asked once to quit it. If he failed, he would be corporeally reminded. Fighting fathers sometimes resent‘ed this, but fighting school masters met these ecomplaints with scant courtesy. School\ boards might review the case (but the school master was usually upheld. If parents wouldn’t wallop! their erring offspring when necessary it was commonly held to ibe the duty of the school master to fill the breach. ‘Spartan parents hearing that ‘their lads had been whipped in.school for misconduct often added another chastisement for good measure.: Few. daffy-down-dilly characters (Continued on Page Four) California men registering in: the Nation’s third sign-up under the Selective.
