Excerpt from What Are You Doing? Why Are You Doing It? Why Do You Do It Like That?: The Superintendent's Annual Address to the Teachers, Masters and Supervisors of the Newton Public Schools, October, 1907 We school people generally, - superintendents, masters, teachers, - waste much time in talking and hearing, in writ ing and reading, about professional matters. The endless stream of talk and literature which flows unceasingly from our conventions, our meetings, and our educational press, interests us and bores us, delights us and disgusts us, inspires us and discourages us, excites our approval and arouses our opposition; but it all fails to make much impression on our work.
