THE NOBILITY OF TEACHING

THE NOBILITY OF TEACHING.
The teachers of the public schools of
Louisiana will rafst in annual conven-
ton on April 4, 5 and inclusive Last
years convention was held in Baton
Rouge. On Shreveport this honor is
conferred this year. 1t is compliment
to this community and there should, and
doubtless will, be accorded to the teach
eTs a welcome which will be cherished
m the years to come There can be
nothing too good for the teachers of our
girls and boys, and to have teachers as
guests is an honor of which the city is
proud.
The Caucasian has had in mind an
article on The Nobility of Teaching.
and on perusing Golfers Weekly the
article following was read with gratif-
cation and is reproduced. Indeed, we
may well query: What nobler profess
sion can there be than that of passing on
TO younger human beings the best there
IS in us. Golfers says:
1t is rather a strange contradiction
that while education is highly valued in
our country, teaching, on the whole, has
less honor than it deserves 1t is pity
that, commonly, more care is had-yea,
and that among very wise men--to find
out rather cunning man for their
horse than a cunning man for their chill
dren'
We do not pay our teachers enough
for our own good, since a liberal salary
attracts talent not only because the sal
ary itself is desirable, but because it is
a symbol of success Half a million
Americans are now engaged in doing
what they can with twenty million
younger minds Surely no half million
Americans are employed in more i'm
portant work. Teach self-denial,' said |
Sir Walter Scott (and something might |
be said of other virtues)) and make its
practice pleasurable, and you create for
the world a destiny more sublime than
ever issues from the brain of the widest |
dreamer. Teach anything that is good. |
and you touch the depths. The ablest and |
truesf men and women are required
those who know life and are not ped
ants, not machines with notions of sug-
gestion no higher than the ferule and
the copybook. The teacher works with
living minds and hearts and souls. On
no man rests higher or more inspiring
task.
From the time of the stone slate and
the flint pencil the opinion has always
existed among the wise men that the
teacher should be held in the highest
honor and should be selected with the
greatest care. Plutarch said: Teachers
ought to be sought who are of blameless
lives, not liable to be found fault with,
and distinguished for learning; for the
source and root of virtuous and hon
orable life is to be found in good train
ing; and as husbandnen underprop
plants, SO teachers by their precepts and
training support the young, that their
morals may spring up in a right and
proper way
And, after all, Golfers reflection may
be summarized in the declaration that
our girls and boys are, in great meas
me. what their teachers make them, as
It is from their teachers that they draw
the inspiration which leads to noble

ball. In the second half Laclede
kicked off and Meadville punted.
Laclede's quarterback was playing
too close in and a Meadville player
got the ball and made the third
touchdown. Laclede then began
to play better ball and during the
rest of the game the ball was car
ried back and forth without either
side being able to score. With
proper coaching and practice the
Laelede team could easily defeat
Meadville, although the latter team
