Your chest aches and the infamma-

The food-tonic that has proven its
worth for forty years SCOTS Emul-

OF Commerce, who 1ectured before

The teacher must be truth incar-
nate,' he declared. THE two most
important facts in the teaching of the
youth are the child himself and the
teacher. The child is not only flesh and
blood, he is mind, conscience and soul.
THE teacher is not to teach books
merely, but to teach SELF but this self
must be instructed with thought in the
Incarnation of truth. The teachers
work is not complete when the teacher
has given information. Information is
not knowledge. knowledge is the re-
suit of individual Intellectual activity.
Books are the crystallized facts Of the
ages. The personality of the teacher
breathes forth the highest and noblest
ideals. The teacher is the chief agent
in community life and therefore must
give life and must be the inspiring CEN
trail force in the development of the
| life of the child. Books are abstract
the teacher is concrete"
