A point brought out by Principal W..
Fl. Hoyt of the Academy in his address
before the recent meeting of the public
school teachers deserves emphasis, and
may be we'll pondered by every school
teacher in this commonwealth. He said /:
Closely linked with school management,
rs regards discipline, is responsibility
we cannot shirk. We assume it on en-
tering the profession, and the beginning
Of every school year only intensifies it.
The honesty Of purpose, the correctness
Of habit, the purity of life Of every pupil
In our schools Is Influenced more or less
by the lives we lead. What greater re-
sponsibility can be imposed upon us?
