THE TEACHERS MISSION.
BY J. CuEsroN WHITNEY.

To elevate our rising race.
Teach them the storms of life to face.
TO c,lncatc the heart and soul
And make the mind a pcrfect whole.
Bc this our mission: this fulfil
And we shall serve our Masters will
lis not enough to teach our charge
The wonders of the world at large,
To tell them Of the mighty earth.
And how the nations had their birth,
TO talk of cubes, OF roots and powers,
Or tell the names of various flowers -
We must not call our duty done,
When it, in fact, is Just begun.

And now her teachers here have met
To gain the teachers Amulet;
