In speaking of public satisfaction with our school system, Mr. Martin said, "It is absolutely imperative that every teacher should keep in contact with school finances. Every teacher should know the cost per pupil per day of her school". He advocated the plan of educating the parents and the public to these costs through the pupils at school. Comparing costs of education war, and public works would be a splendid approach to this. In some respects Superintendent Martin would like to see our educational system progress. He feels that politics should at no time enter the selection of educational officers. In actual teaching he desires a need for teaching "how to live" rather than a compilation of facts and subject matter. He said he hoped that teachers would come to so cope with the situation of individual differences that a time would come when no student would fail.
