The sixth and last day Of our Chau-
tauqua closed last Monday. The pro.
gram during the entire week was good.
The lectures and Musical numbers
were very strong. Teachers who fail
ed to attend at least few numbers
lost an opportunity. The junior Chau-
tauqua, for the little people consisted
in story telling, plays and games and
folk dancing. This usually took place
every afternoon. On the last day sew
eral Of the little people gave their
numbers in the afternoon for the ben
eft Of the larger people and mothers
and fathers.
The compensation paid teachers for
their services is small in comparison
with the rewards Of those who follow
other professions. The wages OF the
best paid teachers are extremely low
compared with the income of first.
class lawyer or physician. Some
preachers also get large salaries. But
professional men generally do not
make fortunes. The great fortunes
are nearly always made by merchants,
or what are called business men. II
your highest aim, young man, is TO get
rich, to amass colossal fortune, do nc,
enter a profession. But professional
men see pleasure in the pursuit OF
something beside wealth. The highest
pleasures flow from the action OF the
intellect. An Agassiz, who said he
had no time to make money enjoyed
existence, venture TO assert much
more than "a Vanderbilt or an Astor.
The teacher who finds not pleasure
in the pursuit Of his profession, or IN
the action Of his intellect, would better
quit the profession at once, and engage
In some other pursuit. But there are
times when the best of teachers feel
discouraged. They have labored pa
tiently day In and day out, and their
work seems like the labors of Sisyphus,
who was doomed to roll stone TO the
top OF hill, and IN spite Of his efforts
it continually returned upon him. But
remember, teacher, that your work is
sometimes like bread cast upon the
waters, TO bear fruit after many days.
