EXAMPLE SET BY TEACHER
Responsibility of Those In Charge OF
the Youth of the Country Is
Great One.

Few teachers realize the extent to
which their, students, whether in the
primary grades or the university, are
following their examples. II is re-
lated OF William r. Harper, well-re-
membered president of Chicago uni
versity, that he was brought to real
ization of his responsibility in the
following manner:
When he was afflicted with cancer
and knew that there was nothing be-
fore him but a hopeless, lingering
illness, he decided that the best thing
to do was to take things into his own
hands and end it all He confided his
decision to a friend OF his. a man who
had broader vision on this point
than the great president himself. He
referred President Harper to the
many students who lad been under
his influence and said, Among all
these thousands many will face a
crisis similar to the one which you
face now. Many will reach the deci-
sion which you have reached. for they
will think, 1t Is all right: Prexy did
It. ," Doctor Harper saw his responi
sibility at once and said, I'll stick
It out" What a great thing 1t would
be II all teachers were willing to bear
as much as this. in order that their
lives might be better examples for
those who may come under their In
fuence

TO have them trimmed. He did so, and
soon after they began to grow faster
