Tin teachers heard a charge that there is too much “apple polishing” in tin* American public school system. The complaint was made in a talk by Mrs. May Hill Arbuthnot, associate professor of education at the Western Reserve University. However Mrs. Arbuthnot opined that the era of ‘‘toadying and subservience” was on its way out and declared: “Teachers everywhere are winning more voice in their own affairs teachers have been called in to advise and draw up plan- of school building . . . . teachers are also being called in as invaluable consultants on civic policies involving youth . . . such examples of teacher participation in the largest policies of the school- may be few ami far l>ejjtwccn no\C. but they are beginnine to come, here and there over the country.”
