Teachers Must
Poise at
All Times
Their Attitude OF
Strength Very
Important
By A nqeIo Pafri

Teachers must be good actresses.
Most OF us are just that. We know
that we must convey a feeling of
strength. security and power that
sums up to authority by our very
bearing. We understand how to
make an entrance into a classroom
so as to focus the minds of 40 boys
and girls upon the serious business
OF pursuing knowledge. We know
the value of poise
In wartime this attitude Of
strength, security and authority is
essential in the classroom and the
conditions there and outside make
that attitude difficult to maintain.
After a sleepless night spent in
worry. poise is what one has lost
and lamented How to get it back
is our problem
Don't spend that night of worry.
There is no other answer. Worry
will kill anybody, much less shake
his poise. 1t is useless. No greater
waste Is known to the mind of men.
The mind selects an imaginary situ-
alton, one most distressful. then pro-
ceeds to gnaw at it as a dog worries
bone.
1t is an imaginary situation based
on ifs. maybes, perhapses and
sprinkled over and saturated with
doubt and fear. If the roof falls
in and if We are under it, maybe
we won't be able to get out and
perhaps we shall die there. Awful
What of it? Suppose the roof does
not fall, and If you are not under it,
then surely you won't die under
such awful thoughts. You see, we
usually worry about the wrong
thing, the thing that does not hap
pen and because we are worrying we
overlook doing something we should
have done and that goes wrong and
there we are with something actual
to worry about and we don't. We
just set to work and mend it. That
is what we have to do anyway.
Why waste worry on what has not
happened, may not happen and
wouldn't matter if it did happen?
If you live you can do something
about what bothers you and if you
don't, you won't have to worry.
Teachers cannot afford to worry.
They have to preserve that precious
poise, that inner sureness that al
lows them to make an entrance of
impressive dignity and to speak with
the voice of authority.
Shun people who twitter and
shake and wobble in their minds.
Shun books that create doubt and
fear. Shun entertainment that
robs one Of sleep, of hope and
courage under the guise of realism
Read the 9lst Psalm until you
can recite it in the dark hours of
the night. Say your prayers and
mean them. Cultivate the people
who want to believe in their God
and their country's victory.
