English Instructor
Says Good Teachers
Must Like Children
Bismarck, N. D. (U.R) Mis
Rita Murphy, who has taught
English to more than 5,000 stu
dents at the local high school,
says that the secret of being a
good teacher is to like children.
"That's first," she emphasized.
"Knowledge of the subject comes
only second."
Miss Murphy recently was
named, along with nine others,
to an honor roll of teachers in
a national magazine (McCalls).
Miss Murphy says:
T don't have any," she said
when asked about discipline
problems. "The only youngster
I ever had to slap became a po
liceman. And we're good friends
today."
Miss Murphy said youngsters
now have many more outside
activities than when she first
started teaching in the 1920's.
"But that works both ways,"
she added. "Nowadays they have
more information because of the
activities."
