DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The California Teacher, Vol. 1: A Journal of School and Home Education and Official Organ of the Department of Public Instruction; From July, 1863, to June, 1864 Why should not the pioneer teachers of this State, in the next Institute, take measures of self-organization, self-recognition, and self-examination, and raise themselves above the humiliating necessity of submitting to an examination by members of other professions, or of no professions at all 'i A State Educational Society could be organized by those who should pass the next examination by the State Board, those who hold diplomas of graduation from Normal Schools, and the Professors in the various Colleges and Collegiate Schools of the State. This Society could become legally incorporated at the next session of the Mgisla ture, and other members could be admitted from time to time by passing a regular examination and receiving diplomas. Such certificates would soon be gladly recognized by unprofessional examiners (many of whom, though men of educa tion, feel that they are not duly qualified to sit in judgment on the competency of' teachers for their peculiar work) as the best possible assurance of fitness to teach. And teachers may rest assured that legislative enactments would soon follow, making such diplomas prima facie evidence of ability to teach in any part of the State, without further examination.
