 A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops. Henry Brooks Adams It is the duty and the challenge of the teacher to touch the minds of his stu- dents, not only with the facts of the sub- ject matter, but also with his personal values, standards, and ideals. Not all the students will let themselves be af- fected by this; but if a teacher can reach even one, his influence will extend throughout that person's life. And, if he happens to touch the mind of a very gifted person, one who will become a great statesman, philosopher, or writer, his values will be disseminated by that person throughout an entire society. This is true of any of the people who form the environment of a man who will leave his mark on the world; their influence on him will determine his effect on society. However, it is especially true of a teach- er; for his purpose is to guide the minds of young people in moral, ethical, and philosophical matters. It is the duty of teachers to make sure their values are sound, their standards just, and their ideals worthwhile. And it is the reward of teachers to realize that theirs is the power to inspire young minds to thoughts and deeds of honor and greatness.
