failure.
X-I cannot stultify myself 80 much ss
to agree that "a woman 10 not fit pers On
to teach" Some Of the best teachers

. more refining, humanizing iafuencs,
as a rule. than men. frequently found.

qusr and manage q bad boy.
TN. B.-No teacher has the right to
make q pupil take of his coat to be
whipped. The man that does it. dis
