When does an individual decide to become a teacher and how did she decide are questions perhaps difficult to determine and somewhat unrealistic in form. One hundred elementary school teachers were so questioned, teachers from grades one through six. Superintendents, supervisors and principals were asked in conference to name from their personal acquaintance and knowledge, those teachers in the elementary schools of that system, who liked and were enthusiastic about teaching and not only said so but behaved as if they were. These teachers had indicated to the administration they were so satisfied with teaching in the elementary classroom they wouldn't accept any other type of position. The administration of eleven different school districts were so contacted and interviewed. The study covered an area of the state containing a population of approximately 1000 elementary school teachers
