this age may rejoice over the teachers
of their time. Thus thought the truth
teller as he found place among the
pedagogues at the high school on Fri

hundred thousand strong. A number
twelve times as great as the number
Of Haunibals army when he made
Rome shivcr and fear: twenty times
as great as the number of warriors in
NenophOuS' army when it cut it's way
through a barbarouS continent, and
about forty times as largo as the army
that followed Caesar across the Rubi-
con! And how magnificent the mis-
sion of these worthy workers. Theirs
isnot merely Il material mission 1t is
not only to obtain livelihood that
these teachers toll. Nor yet to 50 arm
and equip others that they may buy
bread in the battle of life. IL is not
theirs to carve statutes to be placed in
some proud Panthenon, only to crum-
BILE beneath the tooth Of time. But it
IS theirs To mould the mind which
shall endure through the cons to carve
character that shall stand through the
browning centuries. Oh, teachers
