Teaching is among the Oldest profess
stons. There has never been a time in
the history of the world in which there
has not existed some sort Of school. for
the double reason that there Is In man
a two-fold instinct of acquisition and
importation. No work Is more important
than teaching, since, to a great extent,
upon the school training OF the youth Of
land depends the future social, polit-
cal and religious life Of n nation. TO
teach means, according to tho dictionary,
II instruct or to impart knowledge This
is general definition used specifically
in regard to schools. It means not only
to impart a daily portion OF knowledge,
but also to train the mind In such a
way as to produce in the pupil q mental
activity that will urge him forward to
thorough self-education. Teaching Is
more n developing than creating pro-
cess. Correct teaching does nothing for
n pupil that he can not do for himself.
1t simply brings objects and subjects be-
fore him and directs his mind to tho
study Of these objects and subjects, thus
bringing into existence active powers and
hence ideas are formed,

err hates my Harry, she treats him outs
rageously." Oh! If that mother could
but see tho behavior of her beloved Har-
ry. her only wonder would be that his
long-suffering teacher did not murder him
outright. 4
Another difficulty that teachers must
confront, especially those employed In the
public schools, is the fact that very little
attention can be paid the Individual.
Children from refined homes, children
from degraded abodes, children who
hear only gentle and refined speech. chill
dren who rarely hear a correct sentence
out Of the school room. children who are
used to every luxury, and children who
scarcely have the necessities OF life must
all be taught at one and the same time,
a and all are supposed to derive the same
seeming absence of expected results.
Sometimes a teacher will spend half OF
n lesson period illustrating and explaining
certain theory or principle. She nat-
urally expects a good recitation. but
when the class Is questioned, the entire
time and effort have apparently been
wasted. To labor for whole term, over
some especially dull or unusually careless
pupil only to have him fall In the ex-
animation is to say the least Of 1t, dis-
couraging.
a teacher cannot worthily discharge her
daily duties unless she has some time for
private study and Is thus enabled to keep
herself on a level with the advancing,
thoughts and methods of the age. If shei

of learning which she. as a student mas

Jesus Christ has been called the Great
Teacher" while to-day there is no class
OF people who are better known, or who
exert Il wider influence than the learned
educators.
For ages women were left totally with
out education. but no sooner did they be-
como educated than 1t was discovered
that they We're pre-eminently fitted for
teachers. For many years their work
was confined to the primary and gram
mar schools, but to-day we find them
teaching In tho high schools, colleges and
normal schools as well.
Women have shown to the world that
they can succeed in almost any vocation
which 1t peases them to pursue. In all
their experiments, however, they have
found no work for which they are so
perfectly suited as that of teaching. In
some branches of study men are acl1now-
lodged to be moro competent, but In or
binary school work 1t has been proved
that women arc more efficient. There
is no other evidence of this needed than
the fact that throughout the length and
breadth of our land the public schools
are taught almost exclusively by women.
Women naturally possess some of the
ttSSSSt'th'J
namely patience, perseverance,, gentle
ness, Intuition and love of children, and
by training they may acquire other re-
quisite qualities. such as self-control, i'm
Partially, firmness. etc.

port themselves. First, In the social po-
stion. she occupies. No matter how dem

the stubborn fact remains that social
barriers do exist and often the occupation
OF woman Will determine her social
strata no matter what may be her real
worth. Second. In the duration of her
work a teacher Is on actual duty only
about six hours per day; add to this two
extra hours for outside preparation, and
she still works two hours less than the
average woman, Her Saturdays, too, are
free and she has n long holiday at Christ
mas, not to mention various national and
religious holidays scattered through the
several months Of the year, and last but
not least. three months vacation. Third.

too much by any means indeed, In soma
places they are poorly paid considering

consideration the three months OF en-
