 sly 1- 2J 1916 £ ur Drtixcipal’s JfflrsSngc To tiik Class or l! IS: The teacher, like nil luiiiuui I joints, must ever look lo proper ami commensurate rewards for service rendered. These rewards come in tlie form of salaries, promotions, honorable positions of trust and responsibility, jind social distinction. No wise teacher will despise any of these. They make comfortable living possible and life tolerable and enjoyable. Much jus these rewards must and do appeal l » all, there is one far above them in value and in power of impelling to the best effort by every one. It is the approbation « f an intelligent conscience directed consciously by well thought-out guiding principles, that must ultimately be the teacher’s reward. To have a keen mind well trained in the science and jirt of teaching, to apply one’s lowers intelligently and with a conscious purpose toward ;i definite end, to feel that the course pursued in doing this is right, to have the satisfaction of seeing results in growing youth: these sire the rewards the teacher will find most comforting and most lasting. Conscience always approves of these. Having started in your training as teachers may you. each member of the class of nineteen hundred and eighteen, continue in the study of the art of your chosen calling till this highest reward is vours. The world is constantly beckoning such to come cheerfully to do her work willingly for others. Sincerely and affectionately. I . M. Harbold. i
