RIDE FOR REPUTATION.
What Pedagogue Was Forced to Do to
Solve Problem.

While they were discussing the
melee in the school board, the head
of big manufacturing establishment
was moved to relate this experience:
81 was once pedagogue myself. 1
had resolved to do something worth
while in the business world, and hav-
ing no capital except what was wrap
ped up in my person. l taught school
to get a starter. / had some advanc-
ed students and had to skirmish in
order to keep up with the procession.
One day the whole class was stumped
by an arithmetical problem and so
was 1. In order to gain time for my
self l came the old dodge of how much
better it would be if they would work
out the solution for themselves, and
gave them another day.
''That night, behind locked doors
and closed blinds. 1 worked in fear
and perspiration. From the bottom
of my trunk l took key to the arith-
metic, but even with that aid l failed
to master the problem. BY midnight
/ was desperate. 1t would never do
to let the scholars, the parents and
the whole cruel world know that l
was not equal to my position. But
it's not in my makeup to surrender
while there's fighting chance.
AT town ten miles away there
was a loyal and highly educated
friend of mine. He would help me
and say nothing. 1t was one of the
bItterest January nights l ever knew.
But l slipped to the barn. appropriate
ed a horse, made ride more notable
than many of those immortaliZed in
song or history, froze my ears and
toes and had my vocal powers reduced
to a whisper"
But you should have heard my
whispered explatation of that prob
lem and my regrets that none of the
pupils had mastered it, Detroit
