Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Minimum Health and Sanitation Standards in Schools
Inasmuch as the union movement among teachers is characterized by a growing desire on the part of teachers to improve the conditions under which the work of teaching is carried on, the Teachers Union decided to go ahead with its plans. Accordingly, it was decided by the Union that the President should resign his position as teacher in a high school. The resignation was accepted January 3, 1921.
The letter of resignation dated December 14, 1920, contains this statement quoted here to indicate the scope of the inquiry proposed: Among the conditions inquired into should be the following: The physical conditions, the conditions relative to ad ministration, the conditions relating to teaching. In addition, I believe it is important that studies be made of the quality of our ideals in relation to the prevailing schools of educational thought. In this connection, we should know the source of the moral, the' social, the civic and the professional inspiration of our teachers. The study of these conditions in relation to the product as shown in the output of our schools and in the quality of our citizenship should give us important leads for fundamental changes.
