"How do yogi, like the teaching
game?" So many, people have
asked me -this question ' in the
past few months. that I ;thought
I'd try , to. 'answer it-, here.. My
usual reply is what I hope is an
eloquent shrug.
One reason I left the news-
thpaper :business' for: teaching. was
at I " thought it. ,would give
me a more time with . rhy family.
As a Weekly, editor, I was out
night after night,: covering Meet-
ings, attending. (banquets and the
like., The . only time • I had rwitih
the kids was on ` week -•ends.: ,
a teacher ',spend a •lot
'more time at home. 'And. I see
evenry less of. my family, I'm
locked• .away in th'e smoke-filled'
little room on the second floor',
five nights a week and 'most " of
Saturday -and Sunday. I. see so
little' • of the kids that 'there' are
times when. I can't :quite reniem-
ber 'their first names
Another reason. for embarking
on a 'teaching career' was :all
those holidays.` Two months in
the 'summer. A week at Christ-
mas acid another at Easter. Of
course, last summer. I had . to go,
•to : summer school and •work 'like.
a' dog for two months:. And ' this'
year I have' A9 -do the same. And
• at" Christmas I ' spent 'exactly
• :47.1/2 . hours,. during . my,
holiday week, marking papers
and ,it will be; the same at
Easter..And. then', at. the end .of
another' year, :when I am quali-
fied as ' a teacher', I .have to' , go'
back. to surri er • school for yet
anotherb eip•ht wee'get
to.
my specialist's ,kertificate. But
:just think`` =in .1963 • I'll have • the
whole swimmer . off, That's • cer-
tainly : •better :than the' one mis=
erable' week a year . I ' -Used' to
take in newspaper 'business. ,
..•*_.
And •'then, of : course, ' the.
money is good • My take; home
.pay is better - than ''that'' of many
:truck •' drivers almost . as good as
that of wa welder or a :bricklayer:
Unlike them, I don't draw over-
time; but thinkof • the security.'.
All I ' have; ,to‘ do is teach for 35;.
years, and l[.;get the full pension:.
Am I ' ever. going • to raise ' hell
around the lawn bowling club
whenI get on that. ' pension!
'Wheelchair ior no wheelchair.
But alt, these things 'are mere
adjuncts . to teaching.' After all,
we're not ,just interested in 'mon-
ey, :and„ security are. we? Well,
A -ZE WE?. Of course, we're not.
• Money is no more irnportant,
• than 'say, 'breathing. No, 'what • we
are concerned with in life is the
dep, basic things. •Like, uh;.
isfaction rn' .a job *ell done, and,.
ori, the rich reward ot guiding
• young ' lives,, and u'h, : stuff;' like
that.• '
You have no idea of the thrill
a teacher ,feels when he realizes
• that but ,for ;the ,guidance he has
given young Joe, th,e latter might:
have wound up , in the penitent-
iary ---. instead of just' • reform
school.
And there, is.nothing to equal
*the • rich .satisfaction a' teacher
derives, •when he has taught
something so difficult that the
sweat is .running down his ,back,
And he `•knows • 'he ' is• getting.
through to them,:when the sees

There's a completely d'iffercnt
atmosphere' in •th.e schools these
days, When' 1.vitas iii high school;
if' a kid got out of lhe, "the
teacher would cldb'ber ti b'i , My ;

old se:ience'. teaeh:'r could clip a
large lout : right off • ',his stool,.
across two desks and into: a limp -
heap of rags on: the floor, with-.'
.out disturbing a• test-tube. My
old maths teacher •favored a
two -knuckle smash just .above
the kidneys, which enabled you:
:to say ,nothing but. "Huh! Huh!
Huh!'" for .about 'four minutes.
That •old brutality has allgone
by ' the board now,.. and a• good
thing, I • say. Nowadays, if a kid,
does something that disqualifies
him for a sound; belt in, the chops,
you realize he's not doing it just;
for hellery, he ,emotionally dis-
turbed. '
