A Teachers Value to the Public
"What the teacher is counts for
much more than what she knows.
A love of children, unlimited tact
and infinite patience are the neces-
sary natural endowments, writes
Caroline B. LeRow in the Septem-
Der Ladies' Home Journal. "Of
course, the ability to teach implies
the possession of an education,
though no amount OF education alone
can make a good teacher. While all
teachers must know more than they
teach, the power to impart to others
is the important matter, and the one
in which tact or ingenuity is abso-
lutely the prime requisite. More
over, she should be personally a
social, intellectual, and moral force
in the community. The physician
and the clergyman have immense
opportunities for this uplifting Of
humanity, yet their advantages are
small when compared with those Of
the teacher, which are practically
unlimited. Encouragement and sat
isfaction in this field of labor never
can be dependent upon results, for
it is seldom that the teacher is per-
mitted to know what the years of
maturity owe to faithful care of the
youthful days. The teachers time
is always one of seed-sowing, never
of harvest.

FREDERICK'S STATUE.
Erection Will Be Deferred for a Year
at Least.

The authorities in charge have practi-
cally concluded that 1t will be inexpedient
to erect the statue of Frederick the Great,
near the site of the Army War College, on
the Washington barracks reservation in the
coming spring, had been originally in
tended. Gen. Gillespie, chief Of engineers,
has recommended that the erection of the
statue be deferred for a year at least and
the Secretaries of State and War have ap-
proved his recommendation
The reason for the postponement is that
the grounds will not be ready for the re-
ception of the statue for year at least,
and its erection in the meantime, while the
work of constructing the War College and
other buildings is in progress, might re-
suit in damage to the statue by dust or
accident.
1t is felt that the matter of the selection
be placed on the terrace in front Of the col
ter the removal of the litter of building
material.
Moreover, 1t Is believed that 1t would be
undignifed to put the statue in position be-
fore the buildings are under roof and the
grounds are in condition to receive 1t with
out danger of detriment to it.
The plan of the War Department is to
assign sites to the military heroes of mod
ern times. including Washington, Frederick
the Great, Napoleon, Wellington MARI
borough and Gustavus Adolphus, but as
yet has made no arrangements as to their
respective locations.
