During my own 36-year career as an educator, with considerable experience in private as well as public schools, I served as a classroom teacher, school principal and school district superintendent. These traditional job titles notwithstanding, in my heart and mind my job would more aptly be described as " Schoolmaster ". The men and women who diligently taught our children and operated our local community schools were, until some time in the early 20th Century, called Schoolmasters.
