(3i v iFarultti fE CAME to learn of great teachers. The wo rld said they were great. One day, from the books and the people about us, new problems arose and we asked the old question, What is Truth? One man said, Come with me and meet Shakespeare. We went and met him. Then he said, I want you to know a man I have loved for years. We went and met his friend— Emerson. These and other men we met and came to love A woman whose face was sweet with years of loving work, bade us look at the 5 ' ears of human activity. She taught of man ' s claim on man. We learned that dependence is a sacred, precious thing. Once our faith trembled. One man looked solemnly at us, and shaking his head, said, Children! Children! with a voice so low and steadfast that we have loved God and him ever since. But a voice is calling us into the world of work. Our hearts feel strange at the thought of leaving these teachers for they have all been kindly understanding friends, friends through whose contact there is in our hearts a new power. We go, remembering as teachers, the lesson they taught — the lesson Emerson wanted the world to learn. There is no teaching until the pupil is brought into the same state or principle in which you are: a transfusion takes place: he is you and you are he: there is a teaching and by no unfriendl} ' chance or bad company can he ever quite lose the benefit. Mildred Barlow, ' 08
