Teachers

"All jargon of the schools."

"I am not a teacher: only a fellow-traveller of whom you asked the way. I pointed ahead—ahead of myself as well as of you."

"A little bench of heedless bishops here, And there a chancellor in embryo."

"Whoe'er excels in what we prize, Appears a hero in our eyes; Each girl, when pleased with what is taught, Will have the teacher in her thought. * * * * * A blockhead with melodious voice, In boarding-schools may have his choice."

"Better fed than taught."

"Domi habuit unde disceret."

"Delightful task! to rear the tender Thought, To teach the young Idea how to shoot, To pour the fresh Instruction o'er the Mind, To breathe the enlivening Spirit, and to fix The generous urpose in the glowing breast."

"A man's scholarship may be perfect, his character admirable, and yet, for want of the power to control subordinates and govern boys, he may be wholly unfit for a schoolmaster."

"An original thinker and able teacher very soon attracts a large class and vice versa."

"Let the soldier be abroad if he will, he can do nothing in this age. There is another personage, a personage less imposing in the eyes of some, perhaps insignificant. The schoolmaster is abroad, and I trust to him, armed with his primer, against the soldier in full military array."

"A master should be paid liberally, in order to secure a person properly qualified."
