Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings of the Thirty-First Meeting, Held at Ann Arbor, November 25-26, 1898 Two years later, during the meeting at Chicago, Professor E. P. Hughes of Cambridge, England, read a paper upon Professional Training for Teachers of Secondary Schools, and outlined the practice course followed by the Teachers' College. The year following, Mr. C. P. Lynch, referring to the editorial introduction by Dr. Harris to the Report of the Committee of Ten, that, It has been agreed on all hands that the most defective part of our education is that of the secondary schools, characterized the deficiencies of high school work as arising from, (1) an inferiority of equipment, and (2) an inferiority of teaching ability. What has appeared in the progress since 1894 is recent history, is quite as familiar to most of you as to the speaker, and need not be recounted here. In the Report of the Committee of Ten, a single brief paragraph only is given to the qualifications of Secondary Teachers, aside from the references made to this by several of the conferences. From the wording of the intro duction to the report, concerning the admitted need for more highly trained teachers for these schools, it is evident that what was in mind was that they should be more scholarly. The Conference on the Modern Foreign Languages averred that the worst obstacle to the progress of modern language teaching is the lack of properly equipped instructors. The conference on the physical sciences reported their conviction that it was yet impossible to provide suitable instruction in elementary science even, without specially trained students in science. But there is no indication there either in the text or the context that a science teacher has need for other qualifications than to be a scientist.
