"What is a teacher? I
imagine that each of you has
his own ideas. Some of you
would define a teacher as
a dispenser of facts. Some
of you would say that a
teacher is a presenter of
opportunities. Some of you
would say that a teacher
is an instiller of values.
Each of you is correct.

fine a teacher as a worker.

Secondly, a teacher must
understand children. During
his early years the young
ster is forming his atti

The opinion of his as
sociates is of primary im
portance. He seeks and
must have the approval
of his associates because it
is painfully annoying to be
odd and extremely satisfy
ing to be popular. Yes,
there are many factors at
work which make the modern
day youngster highly plastic,
and it is these influences
that the teacher must under
stand. The youngster is not
only ripening, he is
hardening. He is never
calm, but the one who is
leading him should approach
him calmly. A teacher has
to understand the moods,
the secretiveness, and the
unrestraint of youth. It is
not uncommon for theyoung-
