Take Up the Teachers Burden.

Take up the teachers burden!

Than tillinS Of the soil.
Imprisoned in 4 school room
And shaving lay by day;
To learn TO train Americans
Up in the proper way.
Take up the teachers burden
With all its cares and noise.
This sorely trying problem
y class of girls n boys.
With parents, aunts and uncles
To ask the reason why
Their precious John and Mary
Do not go up more high.
Take up the teachers BURDEN
With all its praise and blame:
The work is growing harder
But wages stay the samc
Here in this town of plenty.
Where the millionaires swarm,
We still nus harbor slavery,
Clothed in a milder form.
Take up the teachers burden
A battle hard 10 fight.
No matter if it's heavy
Her purse is always light.
With counting over pennies
And making over clothes,
She carries with her worries
No matter where she goes.
Take up the teachers burden
And bear it day by day,
A work demanding brain and nerve
But giving little pay.
Oh, man! with children precious,
Your wealthy Pittsburg town
In paying for their teaching
Ranks many cities down.
Take up the teachers burden
A burden to the last,
A lifetime spent for Others
And youth brewer past.
a weary wornout traveller
Upon the earth 20 roam,
Result of years of teaching,
Is it a charity home?
