Should College Students Be Asked To Grade Teachers? cot "ansate wich' wit be By GARRY C. MYERS, PhD We have been hearing of a Yew colleges and _ universities having their students, especially of the senior class, rate the pro- fessors. We have heard of an occasional student organization demanding they help to shape the curriculum for their college. Out of these innovations may be derived some useful informa- tion. No doubt some students could make a high degree of evalua- tion of the teaching efficiency of their professors, and some students might have useful ideas about the colleges curricu- lum. Some college professors knowing of their popularity with students might warmly welcome being rated by them. However, judging from the trend by many students choos- ing '"'easy"' elective courses, one may wonder if the average stu- dent might not weigh heavily his judgment on the basis of how hard or easy a grader the professor is or how many "good jokes" he tells. Some of the abler students would have higher standards of judgment. As for evaluating or revising the curriculum, the question arises: Has the average student enough wisdom by which to guide his standards? Either for rating the professors or revising the colleges curriculum, the alumni might prove abler than the current students. VOLUNTARY ANSWERS Official student ratings of col- lege teachers strike me as silly. I can't imagine many profes- sors willing to have their tenure and chance of promotion de- pending on the immature judg- ments and whims of the rank and file of college students. Wouldn't many of the most scholarly professors quit their jobs and add to the present shortage of college teachers? Wouldn't some who stay be tempted to emphasize ways of being popular with students in- stead of more worthy standards? | However, many a college pro- fssor might obtain useful wis- dom from voluntarily asking his students at the end of a course with him to write, without their signature, what they think have been his strong points and weak points as a teacher. A good many years ago I ven- tured just that with several hun- dred of my students in a teach- ers college. As I read their eval-| uations I came across many items which made me feel pretty low, and I took some known to be exacting ones and correspondingly condemna- tion of a few known to be "easy ones."' I picked up nu- merous remarks from other high school students which run contrary to what is popularly believed about the opinions of youths in college or of children looking forward to college, have considerable interest in these subjects. Perhaps some of my readers would like to write me their opinions about it. ANSWERING QUESTIONS Q.

A second reader in the Canadian Series of School Books, published in 1867, has a story about two dogs--Snap and Tray. Tray was a good dog but Snap was mear® and because of his nasty behavior toward a pack of other dogs both he and Tray were torn to bits by them. Moral: "We should not go with bad boys or girls, lest we share their fate." The reader also has a poem that goes: "O say what is this thing called light "Which I must never enjoy? "What are the blessings of the sight? "O tell boy." Another verse concerns an English orphan boy whose father was killed in action and his mother dropped dead of shock. The boy explains his plight to a lady bountiful who, on hearing his vow to work hard and be a credit to the memory of his brave sailor- | father, agrees to help him. The book is in a collection in the reference library at the Ontario College of Education in Toronto. In 1867, education was in the midst of being transformed from its haphazard pioneer beginnings to tax - supported organized provincial systems, but not without' opposition. Parents had paid fees at so much a head to support local schools, and some resented the tax system, calling it an excuse to get them to pay for the education of other people's children. It was still only the gentry who had more than about five years of schooling. Teacher licensing had begun, though standards and training were at a shaky minimum. School enrolment was doubling and tripling, but attendance often depended on what else there was to do. Schools themselves were | improving. Frame and brick were replacing log buildings, though the ink still froze. in inkwells in winter. Benches that ran the length of the room or that seated pupils two by two were re- placing backless benches and desks were replacing slanted writing boards that students stood up to use. The equipment for one-room rural schools included a box your poor blind stove, a box of sand for lot- ting ink, a bucket and aipper for drinking water, and a /Shorter than last season, hover-| che} | By PEGGY MASSIN {skirts and a return | open Monday.

Education was mostly by memorization, the birch | rod probably an effective memory aid. o Emphasis was still on the glories of other lands. A Third | Book of Lessons, an English book published in Canada in 1865, said: "It is from the nations of Europe that all ef- forts to enlighten the nations which. still dwell in darkness, and in the region of the shadow of death, must pro- ceed," An 1872 General Geography for the Schools had a preface that sounds familiar. It ex- | plained that the book had been written to fill a need, as most ish or American. It describes British Colum- bia as bounded on the west by at Russian America, Prince Ed- ward Island as noted for its comparatively salubrious cli- mate, and 'New Brunswick for | its compact shape. An 1875 History of Canada does a colorful job on the bat- tle of the Plains of Abraham, including stirring accounts of the deaths of the "heroic spirit'? Wolfe and the "gallant Montcalm." SEEMED SECURE It describes the fortress city of Quebec, "which like the eyrie of the eagle seemed to rest in proud security upon the lofty eminence . . . and the massive walls of the Castle of St. Louis towering from the very edge of the precipice." When it comes to Confeder- ation it takes a necessarily calmer tone. "On the 7th of February the Bill for Confederation was brought before the British Parliament, under the title of the British North America Act, 1867 by the Colonial Sec- | retary, the Earl of Carnarvon. It rapidly passed all the stages of parliamentary inves- tigation and sanction and re- ceived the royal assent on the 28th of the month.
