ONCE upon q time-a sure
" enough time it was-a young
teacher took up her duties in an
ugly ,ill.furnished schoolhouse.
The pupils came from drab, un.
comfortable homes, and their little
faces reflected the dreariness Of
their lives.
AS Is to be expected, the children
were not as respectful and obedient
as they might have been.
The first year that teacher had
a hard time. But with the CO.
operation of the friendly pupils she
beautified the school room and she
made the lessons as entertaining
and interesting as lessons could
possibly be.
The second year it was not so
bad. In fact, by the middle of
the term the pupils had begun to
realize that she was to be trusted
absolutely; that she was there to
prepare them for the struggle with
the world and that she was their
friend.
When those children had ear
ache, toothache, headache, stubbed
toes, cuts or burns-as sometimes
happened-it was that young
teacher who doctored them with
