Language to put them into, power to gather them into shape for the asking, is not theirs—yet.

They have not the direct in- telligence_ to lead /it out—yet. But you would not fail them? You would _hold, thelr hands as they make the wild gedtures "lltn last night making herself un- toward it. You would explain and make clear the way for the clumsy hands and the stumbling feet. You ‘would put power into their hands and inspiration into their hearts, so that the story might be written fair on the page that is so soon unrolled. You could not fail them. That is the glory of the teacher. He- makes it possible for so many stories to be written. That is why he can so_self-forgettingly turn to his task. His story is to be written in those thousands of records that he spreads over the land. And have no fear! That story shall stand. The cities and masters have builded, the statues and sculptors carved, the pictures and the books of the masters have an end, but the work of the teacher has no end, but carries into eternity. As the race goes on, the teacher's work goes on. The teacher creates the spirit of man. Surely no teacher will fail, then? i Somewhere, in some teacher's room today, there sits the leader, for whom his day is waiting. What teacher will fajil him? Not one, for such is the mission of teachers. (Copyright, 1923.) Out of the Money. From the Baltimore News.
