Question

010. Teaching, more even than most other professions, has been transformed during the last
hundred years from a small, highly
skilled profession concerned
with a minority of the population,
to a large and important branch of the public service. The
profession has a great and honorable
tradition, extending from the dawn of history until recent times, but any teacher in the modern
world who allows himself to be inspired by the ideals of his predecessors is likely to be made
sharply aware that it is not his function to teach what he thinks, but to instill such beliefs and
prejudices as are thought useful by his employers. In former days a teacher was expected to be a
man of exceptional knowledge or wisdom, to whose words men would do well to attend. In
antiquity, teachers were not an organized profession, and no control was exercised over what they
taught. It is true that they were often punished afterwards for their subversive doctrines, Socrates
was put to death and Plato is said
to have been thrown into prison, but such incidents did not
interfere with the spread of the doctrines
