Excerpt from The Home Teacher: The Act, With a Working Plan and Forty Lessons in EnglishThe act creating the home teacher is the direct result of volunteer, overtime work by teachers in the Los Angeles Neighborhood Schools. They demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Commission that the aims to be accomplished by district visiting can best be achieved by teachers instead of outside agencies.The law is merely permissive and it is hoped it will come into opera tion gradually, since the careful establishment of correct precedent is of primary importance.

They must not be primarily cooking teachers, sewing teachers, or English teachers, but teachers of improved living.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
