*FREDERIC BURKE
GREAT TEACHER
OF TEACHING
(By ROY W. CLOUD)
‘State Executive Secretary California
Teachers Associatior
FREDERIC L. BURKE
ke California has had many outstanding trainers) of teachers. One who
made more than passing contribution to this line of educational enddcavor in Caliornia was Frederic Ju.
‘Burke. .
_ ._Born in the foothills of California
educated in the public schools’ of his
native state, a graduate of the,University of California, he secured his
degrees from Stanford University.
This advocate of freedom of expression and of endeavor-teft his imprint
upon the educational history of the
YGolden State.
To this man who, for many years,
served as President of the San Francisco State Teachers College, may be
accredited the honor of breaking the
jockstep in education. When convention was the rule he declared that
« no educational custom had to be followed merely because the fathers haa
¥ used it.
ii Frederic L. Burke worked his way
through the University of California
as a reporter, then served in a similar capacity on the San Francisco BExaminer. He was elected City Superintendent of Schools of Santa Barbara and of Santa Rosa.
Then, determining that education
‘gwas to be his life work, he enrolled
at Clark. University, Boston, under
President G. Stanley Hall, the greatfa est educational psychologist of his
time:
He returned to Santa Barbara and
was called from that old Mission city
to take charge of the newly established State Normal School for the
training of teachers in San Franeisco. This was in 1899. He held that
responsible post until his death in
a 1924.
; Short, stout, and bald, gifted with
a keen sense of humor, this energetic teacher was ready at debate and
free to criticise.
While he believed that conventions should not be followed, the
standards for admission to the Nor .
mal School of San Francisco were!
exceedingly high. Dr. Burke dic!

lieved that men teachers should take
their work for administration and
supervision in the university.
Since the Normal Schoo! of Dr.
Burke’s time was concerned chiefly
for the preparation of teachers in
the elementary. schools, his influence
was chiefly upon the lower branches of the educational field, and more
particularly upon the course of study
and procedure of teaching, of the
=-various subjects.
A fofmalist in most work, he was
decidedly influential. in the teaching
of elementary branches of education.
He believed that no formal grammar
should be taught to boys and girls,
but that they should ‘learn to use
the English language because of use
and not: because of rules.
Dr. Burke’s vigorous condemnation of academic, old-fashioned habits of educational practice was continuous and ultimately effective. In
the earlier years his attitude was
misunderstood.
But in later years, asthe motive
of his criticism ‘became. better appreciated, he has been credited in
large measure with initiating the
program of modernization in the elementary courses of the California
schools, with individual, rather than
mass instruction of the pupil, the
final objective. :

long_as we condone violation of the

expec: to pay the price of public
apathy and laxity with an appalling
list of highway homicides.”
Prefacing his statement with. that
outspoken declaration against , the
traffic ‘tag fixing’ abuse, ~George
Sehlmeyer, Master of. the California
State Grange, today made a strong
appeal for ‘equality before the law,
as well as severity in curbing recklessness, speeding and drunken driving.”
Mr. Sehlmeyer’s statement, made
public by the Califernia.Safety Council, follows:
“If we are to achieve public consciousness of the «seriousness of. the
highway accident problem, we must
stop being complacent about motor
vehicle law violations and stop boasting about ‘fixing’ cases. It is a short
step from complacency to criminal
earelessness and highway homicide.
“There must be uniform penalties
—and severe penalties, without regard to the offender’s position or
influence.
“To.make real progress in accident prevention, the wealthy business
man must be given no greater consideration in cases of traffic law violations than the clerk in his. office
