Excerpt from The Teacher in the Making
It is always to me a great pleasure to introduce to the outside world a book written by one of my younger colleagues, and I am glad to say that it is a pleasure which comes my way with welcome frequency. This book will, I feel sure, be useful. It is sternly practical, aimed at helping the beginner. It does not decry the study of the more academic or theoretical aspects, the psychological or the philosophical, of the teacher"s job. But it is written by one who knows that the immediate and sore need of the raw hand is some practical hints, with a background of wise suggestion and encouragement.
Mr Kennedy is well able to supply this need. He was already a teacher in service before the Great War. After demobilisation he taught for several years in Moray House Demonstration School - a large school with all the problems found in such - and towards the end of that time he ranked as a part-time "Master of Method." For nine years now he has been fully engaged in this latter work, but has never for a day been entirely absent from the classroom. He knows children, and he knows students in training; he has the respect of both, and has given freely of himself in the service of both.
