It would scarcely be profitable, I think, to place too strict a construction on the term “ideal” as used in the title of this paper. In fact I have been so continuously confronted with the handicapping conditions that must be met in preparing teachers that I should hardly know what to do or to say if these conditions were suddenly removed. For example, there is always the matter of the time that can be given to preparation; there is always the type of person whom we may expect to make the preparation; there are always large gaps in our knowledge as to the best ways in which to select and organize materials; and in the preparation of a highschool teacher there is the practical need of providing training that will enable him to teach in at least two fields of specialization.
