That Hampers the Teachers Work.
Some Sample Annoyances.
"The life of schoolteacher,- said one
| of them the other day, sis not all roses.
For a long, sharp, onnipresent thorn let
me commend you to the average parent,
| particularly the average mother. One
| mother can make more trouble in a school
| than 90 children.
"If have entertained one complaining
| parent at this desk, have entertained a
| hundred, and without exception they have
| all made the same identical remark: Mary
| or Johnnie, or whatever the name may he,
| is a very nervous childn
| "If any one should ask me what con-
| slider the greatest menace to the country,
| should unhesitatingly answer, nerves,
| That is, if am 10 believe what am told
| by the parents of the coming generation.
| Sometimes think must hGyea school Of
| freaks, because | am conidentially inform
| ed by two-thirds of the parents, who Of
| course ought to know, that their inGivid-
ual progeny is OF /. very peculiar tempera-
| ment.'
