She could not fotesee that the teach
er might be heartlest- without a
spark Of love for children. She could
not understand that any one would or
could govern children Without love.
How blind love Isl She had her
awakening that day when Phelps
came home. He was crushed and dis
couraged. The teacher was il-tem-
pered, bad hammered, and short in
Judgment, yet because she knew her
multiplication tables and few merely
mechanical things, she had been CIV
en- authority to teach.
why, mama, the teacher whipped
a little boy today and slapped a little
girl that sat next to me. She looked
so cross. don't love her. You told
me l would love my teacher and that
she would be nice like you and
auntie."
Phelps mother sat a long time
looking out of the window, thinking.
Her boy thought she had deceived
HIM. She had taught him to think
that everybody was good, kind and
loving. Because her heart was so
fun of it she forgot her sad experience
to the contrary.
The next day Phelps came home
and told his mama another story Of
strife and worry at school, and the
next was no better. 1t seemed that
each day brought forth new adVen-
ture. 1t was ever a contest between
teacher and pupils. The teacher had
no love in her heart and no love rose
up to meet her, She had a heart full
of selflshness and fear-fear that the
pupils would get the upper hand of
her. The fear was the result of sell
flshness So her days were filled with
strife-the bad was in her calling
forth all the bad that was in her
school.
The children would go home at
night and cry over their troubles with
the teacher in their mama's arms
where there was always sympathy to
be found. Some mamas went to the
teacher, others sent notes-all pro-
testing. Then the day following
would be worse. Not only selfish and
cowardly, bnt narrow and ignorant
the teacher would radiate an AREA of
disagreeableness or meanness around
her so intense that all the love in the
school would be driven into hiding.
