Abstract
Our American culture and civilization depends in large measure upon the recruiting of the right kind of men and women to be teachers in our American schools and colleges. All professions depend on effective teaching for their life blood. Many educators and colleges during the past few years have become concerned with pre-service selection methods for improving the teaching personnel. This concern has become somewhat intensified at the present time, largely as a result of four factors. One factor is the large number of returning servicemen, who are turning to teaching as a career. A second factor is improved salaries and tenure laws. A third factor, suggested by Dr. Ray C. Maul is that many people are turning to teaching only because schools continue to operate though good times and bad. A fourth factor common to many prospective teachers is that the idealism connected with teaching attracts them into the profession.
