SPUR TO TEACHING JOB' wtthis dozens intere3ting to find that to?~y, of other opportumt1es National Kindergarten School Students Answer Interesting Questionnaire In this day when practically every profession and vocati~n is open to women, why should girls desire to be teachers ? The answer to this qu~s tion was sought when 250 questionnaires were given to a group of '5tudents in the National Kindergarten and Elementary college this wee k, with th e question "Why did you choose teachin g in the kindergarten and element ary grades as a profession rath er than one of the many other lines now open to girls ?" Two hundred thrity- four an swered that it was because they loved chil· dren and wanted to be with them and help them. In commenting on this summary of the questionnaire, Miss ~dna Dean Baker, president of the National Kin dergarten and Elementary college, said: "Until the beginning of the pres ent century, teachin g was about the opened before them, hundreds of young women choose teaching-not because of the great increase in salaries ; not because of the i~proved buildings and equipment of the modern school, but because of their '3incere interest in little children and the desire to serve hu manity through doing what they can to give the se children the right start in life." A typical answer to the questionnaire was "To me this vocation brings the most delight and then too I am able to spend my life with happy boys and girh." Other answers ranged over a wide variety. One girl . said she "couldn't bear to think of being a ·poor working girl' all day in an office when kindergarten work seemed so much nicer, more fun and more interesting." Another felt that it was a woman's duty to understand children. Seven girls said they had gone into this work because there is alwav3 a demand for properly trained teachers. Two girls gave as the reason the fact that 'it will keep them young longer than any other work. · One young lady feels that teaching offers the best opportunity for creative and origin a! work-and one young student said she wa· 3 training to be a teacher because it gave her two months vacation each summer. Another question asked the girls in the form was "Do you consider your training simply .as a preparation for teaching, or do you hope to use it in home-making?" ' Two hundred eleven answered that they hoped to U3e it in both, seventeen said they planned to use it in home-making only and twenty-two answered that they had no aspirations beyond using it in teaching.
