Another Important point is the
teaching of new ideas. teaching the
word somewhat different than has
been passed over and over again in
the past. The teacher must find
out what the people are interested
in and gauge the teaching as far as
possible to meet their separate indi-
Vidualfties.
Teacher and pupils should have the
together spirit and develop the
social element. The teacher without
inspiration can have none for the
pupil. The teacher who rightly en-
deavors to get inspiration for others
viii have large returns for himself.
