I hold it essential for a teacher to be both intellectually and morally honest. This does not mean being a perfect holy person. It means that he will be (1) aware of his intellectual strengths, and limitations, and will have thought about and (2) decided upon the moral principles by which his life shall be guided. There is (3) no contradiction in my going on to say that a teacher should be a bit of an (4) actor. That is part of the technique of teaching, which (5) demands that every now and then a teacher should be able to put on an act –to enliven a lesson, (6) correct a fault, or award praise. Children, especially young children, live in a world that is rather larger than life. A teacher must (7) remain mentally alert. He will not get into the profession if of (8) low intelligence, but it is all too easy, even for people of above — average intelligence, to stagnate intellectually — and that means to deteriorate intellectually. A teacher must be (9) quick to adapt himself to any situation, (10) however improbable (they happen!), and able to improvise, if necessary at less than a moment’s notice.
