The Universal Art.

1t seems to me that teaching is the
greatest of the arts, and that every one
of us, no matter what his walk of life
may be. is engaged wiIy-nilly for a
good part of his time in teaching. Sure
~ every father and mother is engaged
in it !; and am persuaded that the vast
majority of children address them
selves to the problem of teaching their
parents that the life of their day is
wholly Incompatible with the methods
of a generation past. The master who
learns how to handle men is taught by
the men he handles. The senator and
congressman in the throes of their elo-
Quence are endeavoring to teach their
honorable colleagues what they take
to be wisdom, and their constituents
they endeavor to tell of their impasSiOn-
ed patriotism. Whenever we endeavOr
to persuade anyone to do as we want
him to do, we try to teach him. Teach
ing is the universal art, and the great
