his method of teaching:
"a teacher and a pupil fond of each
other, both fond of the subject being
studied, the teacher leading the pu-
pill on until both teacher and pupil
were glowing with interest and inspi-
ration-this is an example of genuine
teaching. The teacher in this case
was Mr.. Frank McBee, principal at

and handsome lad IN the high school,
and the subject construction in ge-
ometry. To be privileged to observe
such a scene was delight
