The doctor went to the bedside and stood
there a long time looking al Amelia. Her
condition aroused his professional anxiety
to an unusual degree. He plenty of

plan for the future. 1t was well that he.was
still competent to think and act for present
emergencies.
1t seemed to him that the professor and
Louise were gone long time. His mother
could have walked to her home in fifteen
minutes easily. The carriage should have

than half en- hour had passed. and, although

CHAPTER XVII ANOTHER REJECTION.
For a moment Professor Drummond's
passion overmastered his judgment. The
sight of the brass switch in the doctor s
hand was in way startling, but the pro-
fessoc had been measurably prepared for it.
He forgot how it was the emblem of the
doctors hold upon him and saw in it simply
the proof Of his own correct reasoning. He
wrenched himself free and seized the doc
tor by both wrists. In the very brief strug-
gle the piece of brass fell to the ground.
The doctor felt it drop, but he cared not
The emblem might go; the fatal facts re-
manned, and word from him could cause a
minute examination to be made of every
inch of Fairview.

Strong he was, the doctor was helpless

UnSelfish Teachers.

AS general thing, the work of teachers
is appreciated. The public understands
that teachers life is not all sunshine
Still it is not unusual to hear the criti-
cism that teachers work for pay only, and
have no other interest in their schools I
believe this is entirely a false notion
The teacher is the poorest paid of any
skilled laborer in the market to-day
| believe the teachers OF Washington
are more generous and have the welfare
of their schools more at heart than the
people have any idea of. There is hardly
a schoolroom in the city of Washington
that does not show some evidence of un-
selfishness and generosity on the part
of the teacher. Any visitor in the school
can see it. The walls OF the schoolroom are
decorated with pictures. True, they are
not all uniform. One room will show a
collection of poets heads, and the little
children become familiar with the faces
Of Milton, Longfellow, Bryant, and many
others; while the teacher in the next room
is more fond of travel and the children
study from the walls of their room the
streets of modern Rome or London, or the
old castles of Scotland. Possibly on one
side of room will be all of the full
page illustrations from some folio edi-
ton of Scott's Lady of the Lake" and
on the other side, in q group, a collection
OF the beautiful buildings at the Worlds
Fair.
No one can estimate the great value of
this on the minds of the children 1t
develops a love for pictures and q love
for the beautiful, which will go with them
through life. Would that other cities might
have as much of this as We have in Wash
ington.
Many of the school buildings have pi-
amos owned by the teachers OF that build
ing and standing in the lower or entrance
hall OF the school, where the children are
accustomed to marching to music. A
large sum of money has been raised by
the teachers, either from their individ-
ual pocket or else by their planning and
work. In some cases the teachers rent
the piano by the year themselves.
In regard to the necessity Of the teachers
spending money-that is plainly shown
when it is known that for seat work and
science work little material i S fur
nished. The lower grade teachers buy
cards, mats, pictures, worsteds, objects
for number work, fruit for drawing les
sons, etc In the higher grades all physi-.

in the education that comes more from the
lmperical than from the rational methods.
Actual contact and personal experience
which bring into play the perceptive powers
OF both pupil and teacherare to be sought and
encouraged with him. AS one means OF
demonstrating the practicability of his
theories he inaugurated q series of geological
and botanical excursions in and about the
District of Columbia for both teachers and
pupils, and in addition planned and success
