But everywhere the earnest friends of education are striving to transform teaching from a temporary and often casual employment into a vocation exhibiting something of the systematic preparation, the stability, the progressiveness, and the dignity of a profession. Some of the means that have been found helpful in improving the professional status of the teacher are: professional training, both before and during service; state certification; more permanent tenure; skilled supervision; promotion to higher rank or salary on the basis of merit; and more attractive financial compensation for work done.
