he is responsible to the community
and to the state for the kind of citizens
his pupils became; that he is re-
sponslble for the physical, mental,
moral and spiritual development of
the pupil. He SAID further, that the
teacher owed special duty to the
dull and indifferent pupil; and more
than all he is responsible to God for
the wayin which he has taught.
