August 6, 1926 WILMETTE LIFE schools you have come in contract with the leading educators and you may go into community where the curriculum belongs to the period of 1865. The only thing to recommend in ·1ch instances is that you he as tolerant as the missionary is to the heathen, for the people of such communities are educational heathens and it will take years to make them see the light. )fr. Hamilton suggested that the type of school system may be a discourag-ing factor. "There are systems which - arc inclined to hold back from the more modern and progressh·e types of teaching and there is nothing to be said of the teacher who finds herself a misfit in such a system, except that she should fulfil her contract to the best of l1er ability and then seck employment elsewhere. "The fifth cause of discouragement is the personalit~r of the teacher her. elf." ~aid ).fr. Hamilton. "A teacher rna\. he a n1arkcd . uccess in one commu;litv ancl a failure in another. The t\\'0 mo st necessary qualifications for the personality of the successful teacher arc initiatiYc and tact. and without these y·ry little is possi!)le." As an all-round tonic against teaching-discouragement. ).f r. Hamilton suggestecl that the teacher work out for herself a philosophy of l1fe-one which 'recognizes the work of the schoolroom as a human enterprise which deal~ with life situations as they arise. 31 WILLIAM J.
