Excerpt from Principles and Methods of Teaching Reading
An artistic reading teacher is one of the most valuable assets of a school. She is as rare as wisdom, which "the gold and the crystal can not equal." Among a thousand instructors of youth how few there be who are cunning in the art of teaching beginners to read! A principal who possesses one of these rare treasures can better afford to lose three capable assistants from the top of the school than this one at the bottom. It passes all understanding why school authorities continue to give the greatest rewards for the commonest of gifts and provide no encouragement for the rarest. If, by any accident or effort or natural endowment, a teacher becomes an artist in a first-year grade, she can remain there only by sacrificing her pecuniary interest. In consequence of the conditions just mentioned, there is a steady exodus from the lower to the higher grades.
