Trade paperback. Zustand: Very good. Tenth Printing [stated]. xvii, [1], 268, [2] pages. Some page discoloration noted. Includes Preface, Acknowledgments, Notes, Introduction, and Index. Chapters include The Teacher; The Teacher's Methods; Great Teachers and their Pupils; and Teaching in Everyday Life. Gilbert Arthur Highet (June 22, 1906 - January 20, 1978) was a Scottish-American classicist, academic, writer, intellectual, critic and literary historian. He believed it was the duty of the intellectual to support freedom and defend pluralism. In 1938 he was appointed to the chair of Latin & Greek at Columbia University. He stayed at Columbia until 1971 (except for British Army service during WWII). He became an American citizen in 1951, following his appointment as Anthon Professor of Latin Language and Literature in 1950. Highet devoted most of his energy to teaching, but he also aspired to raise the level of mass culture and achieved a broader influence by publishing essays and books, hosting his own radio program, acting as a judge for the Book-of-the-Month Club, and serving on the editorial board of Horizon magazine. He himself was a highly praised teacher. Robert J. Ball, wrote: "When Gilbert Highet entered the classroom, one felt as though the curtain were going up on a Broadway play, with a living legend in the lead. He reminded students (not surprisingly) of a British Army officer, tall, erect, handsome, clean-shaven, and impeccably dressed. He consistently gave his audience a commanding performance. he gave his students an extraordinary intellectual experience, capped by a showmanship perhaps unparalleled in the American college classroom." In this book, the author wants to find out, not what should be taught, but how the teaching can best be done. The first essential of good teaching is that the teacher must know the subject, which really means that he must continue to learn it. The second essential is that he must like it. The two are connected, because for it is almost impossible to go on learning anything year after year without feeling a spontaneous interest in it. If a teacher does enjoy the subject, it will be easy to teach even when you are tired, and delightful when you are feeling fresh. The first essential is that the teacher must know the subject; the second essential is that he must like it, and the third essential of good teaching is to like the pupils. One of the most important qualities of a good teacher is humor--it keeps the pupils alive and attentive because they are never quite sure what is coming next. Memory, will-power, and kindness are three of the qualities that make the best teachers. Derived from a Kirkus review: In spite of the depressing statistics in the newspapers, there are still those who find teaching a stimulating and inspiring experience -- Professor Highet's book is for them. Here with wisdom and tolerance is a discussion of the rewards of teaching and the qualities of a teacher -- knowing his subject, continuing to learn it, liking his pupils and knowing them. Preparation, communication, classwork are the methods; there is the stimuli of competition and tradition, and the precepts of the great teachers of the past.
