Tass also reported violent fighting

Brown's Article in
Boston Magazine
"The Art of Human Relations m
Teaching." written by Nell Brown,
social science Instructor at Salem
senior high school, appeared in the
September Issue of "Education," a
magazine published In Boston, Mass,
with nation-wide circulation.
"To grip the imagination, to In
spire, to provoke thought, to guide,
are mission of a teacher," Brown
points out In his treatise. "One
cannot exercise these influences on
another without understanding the
art of human relation . . . The teach
er, convinced of his humanity, must
proceed to be human. These go
hand In hand." The writer de
clares that the "sympathetic ap
proach" to the boy who gives all
the appearance of being from the
ranks of the under-privileged Is
much to be desired.
Brown states that the problem of
class control Is knotty, "especial
ly for beginners, and some never
learn the secret. Each class has Its
quota of those who enjoy challeng
ing the teacher's ability to handle
them."
