PUBI.ISHED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF IlrLINOXS URBANA April 10, 1916 Monograph D.- Of D7 ^^W »3 1917 THE SELECTION AND EMPLOYMENT OF HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS I. Introduction The following brief statement of the conditions and methods relat- ing to selection and employment of teacLers is offered v/ith the belief that Boards of Education generally are desirous of doing the very best possible for their schools. As a rule they appreciate the import- ance and value of having well qualified teachers, but frequently find themselves at a loss to know just what to do or were to go to get the teachers they need. It is with a sincere desire to be helpful that this brief bulletin has been prepared and issued. The writer has assumed that the elementary schools have been the first care of Boards, and that the best possible provision has been made for efficient instruction in the elementary grades. Indeed, many of the suggestions which follow would apply equally well in either case- II. General Character of High School Work as Affecting the Selection of Teachers The studies and exercises of the high school are much more varied in character than those of the elementary schools. This is due to the fact that the development of civilization has resulted in building up widely varying interests as represented in the field of learning. The necessity for wide variation in subjects taught is also apparent in the widely varying needs of the different occupations for which the schools are expected to prepare. This state of things adds greatly to the problem of selecting high school teachers. The number of subjects offered in a given curriculum as well as the relationship existing among these subjects needs to be taken into consideration. The employment of all the teachers qualified to teach only a few common subjects, as language and history, or mathematics and physics, will leave some important subjects entirely unprovided for. Teachers should be so selected as to provide as equit- ably as possible for the teaching of aU subjects offered in the cur- riculum. III. Qualifications Demanded of High School Teachers The very nature of the subjects to be taught in high schools calls for a high grade of scholarship. Here the thought processes are to be developed and the pupils taught to find out the truth for themselves in the study of books and of nature. Above all, ideals of good scholar- ship are to be inculcated, a process for which no mere smattering of the subjects to be taught can possibly qualify the teacher. At the same time it is quite as desirable that the teacher possess those personal qualities which are essential in those who are to under- take the control and direction of the activities of high school girls and boys- Teachers should therefore be selected for the quality and strength of character which they are found to possess. Thus scholarship and personality become the prime considerations. Of course there is an advantage in favor of the teacher who has, along with these qualities, a reasonable amount of experience ; but experience alone can not make up for either one of the fundamental qualities named above. It frequently happens that Boards pay a good price for experience when if the character of that experience were known it would be found to disqualify rather than to recommend the employ- ment of the candidate. One of the requirements which should be understood by the candi- date seeking employment is the capacity and willingness of the teacher to do " team work, ' ' — to cooperate with principal and teachers in those little extraordinary services which the individual in any community should contribute to the common good. In the matter of scholarship the Senate of the University of Illinois recently approved the following recommendation from the Committee on Educational Policy : ' ' That a statement be issued by the University to the effect that it is important to the welfare of the high schools of the State and to the high-school work of the high-school graduates that only those who have had four years ' work of college grade beyond the four-year high-school course, or who have done work equivalent to the same, should be ap- pointed in accredited high schools as teachers of the subjects of the ordinary high-school curriculum — exclusive, that is, of music and voca- tional and industrial subjects." Thus while the University does not say to the accredited high schools that only teachers having the grade of scholarship mentioned will be approved, especial emphasis is put upon this standard as relat- ing directly to the welfare of the high schools. Attention may here be called to the fact that a similar standard of scholarship is required by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools in its accrediting of high schools. Also that most of the states granting subsidies to high schools require a similar qualification on the part of high school teachers. California goes even beyond this and requires master's degrees in many cases. IV. Methods of Selection and Nomination of High School Teachers The source of supply of high school teachers must necessarily be chiefly from the colleges and universities, including normal schools doing four years of work of college grade. In all these institutions some one is assigned the duty of answering calls from superintendents and boards for the recommendation of teachers to fill vacancies that have arisen or new positions that have been created in certain high schools. To such committees or secretaries having in charge the appoint- ments work of an institution school authorities desiring teachers may apply usually with the expectation of prompt attention to such calls and of reliable recommendations as to the character of the candidates named- Generally speaking the superintendent or principal of a high school should be permitted some choice in the matter of teachers to be em- ployed. In fact, if these officials are what they should be, they should be requested to nominate their assistants subject to approval by the Board. V. The Problem of Salaries There are many who seem not to understand the problem of salaries of high-school teachers. This is probably due to the fact that the con- ditions governing this part of the problem are not well understood. In the first place the preparation of high school teachers costs more than that of most elementary teachers. Then there are fewer people seeking to teach in high schools in proportion to the number of posi- tions than are seeking elementary teaching positions. In the case of some special lines of high school teaching, such as agriculture, commercial work and manual training those best qualified for such positions are also in demand in the various practical fields which they represent. Thus the competition is stronger and salaries of these special teachers must be usually a little better than salaries of teachers of academic subjects in order to interest people trained for these lines of work in school teaching. Superintendents and boards should study these conditions care- fully and be prepared to meet the needs when seeking to employ teachers. To this end the following tabular presentation of teachers' salaries in high school districts will be found helpful : Public High Schools. (Blanks indicate that report was not sent.)

Every time a board of education employs inferior teachers at rela- tively low salaries, or lends itself to acts which make the teaching position a more precarious one, it is inevitably doing that which is likely to increase the difficulties in the way of securing properly trained teachers for our high schools.
