Somewhere in a schoolroom today under the care of an unknown teacher is a child who in his own time, grown to maturity, will lead the world away from War and toward peace. The affection planted in that child's life by wise guidance, the sense of right values with which he is constantly surrounded, the integrity and initiative that are fostered in his unfolding life will come to fruition in a mighty service to the human race . . .

S. jafuky 1948 Any kind of good teaching has in it high dourage. To keep the classroom free and vital and on an even keel in these times of tension, of home-front economic strife, and of pupils whirled about in the rip tide of propaganda, requires a nerve and a sense of battle every bit as good as that of a mate standing night Watch in a packed con- voy. For dernocracy's work is never done. Besides, teaching has in it a large adventure into the human soul. lt is not just the seating of a pupil at a desk, putting a book in his hand and hearing the lesson: but it is the giving of the teacher's total inner self: counseling the shy little mite, helping youth battered by circum- stances, dreaming with the talented, bolstering the self- esteem of the down and out, trying to reach the mentally slow, polishing the manners of the crude, bringing de- linquents into an understanding of their true worth-all these day and night . . .
