This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1917 edition. Excerpt: ...and other European countries the teacher is an officer of the State, enjoying official privilege and popular esteem. In Sweden and Austria the teacher has an official grade; a high-school principal enjoys the same rank as a major-general.234 In the United States the teacher has no official standing. He is an employe, not an officer. A report of an English visitor to our school contained the statement: "It certainly appears to the casual observer visiting the States that the teacher, as such, has little or no status; that is, his status is that of the man apart from his profession. His influence is determined by his personal qualities, and not by his profession."285 Educators who have made a careful and scholarly study of school administration give the following estimate of the teacher's status: "The traditional American teacher has been, in one sense, a sort of casual laborer. Along with this has naturally persisted the tendency for him to get out of this uncertain career as speedily as possible and to return to it only in times of stress."238 The small esteem and lack of dignity attached to the profession may be attributed, in part, to the lack of security and permanence of tenure. Dr. Prichett says: "Before we can hope for the best results in education, we must make a career for an ambitious man possible in the public schools."237 This is the rationale of his pension system for teachers. 220 Cf.
