A man diligent in his business

direct descendent of a Latin word
which means to love ardently. The
one who loves his business with an
intense passion is royal.
The nature of teaching makes it
especially worthy Of respect. 1t
belongs with all the most inspiring
words of the language: advance
ment, progress, civilization. It
has to do with the most lovable of
all Gods creations: children. A
most encouraging thing about it is
that every healthy, normal adult
has an affection for children; 9th
erwise, there is something the
matter with him; he's mind-sick,
OF heart-sick, OF otherwise de-
ranged. A remarkable thing about
this natural affection is that the
older one grows the stronger it
becomes; so much so that we
cannot trust children too much to
their grandfathers or the young
sters will be spoiled. A teacher
should therefore realize that affec-
ton towards the units of his bus
mess is the teachers natural state;
