answers no. We your hired servants. thero.
fore all our power is delegated, given or withheld

parents and guardians, that aside from the paItry
gam of dollars and cents is involved in the labors
Of faithful teacher an interest and responsibility
which only be graduated by the value Of the

The faithful teacher 'nnot therefore, like servants
who labor ony for m,leriaI objects, consent to
form the immortal mimi by given rules, and feel no
further concern except to receive promis ID re-
ward for obedient service. 1t is necessarily that
academic instruction, AMI parental influence
should harmonize in the formation Of the youthful
character; is no. enough that each perform
their part with mathematical exactness, there
must be sympathy union of souls in their efforts,
which is over watchful Of the final destiny of the
child. For we believe that none ire successful
