A Perfect Teacher e Listen, my children, and' you shall hear Of a perfect teacher who is only an idea, The first virtue which would make her dear, Is the patience of Miss Moody throughout her career. Then she must be wise if us she would teach And Miss Pelham could show her a good degree Of the height of intellect she must reach If our ideal of a teacher she would beg Mr. Stough's sternness and Miss Grace's wit Are a combination that We would desireg . In our perfect teacher when before her we sit And dream of the things that arouse her ire., Miss Williams, a moral lecturer, should lend her aid In the make-up of this perfect maid. e The smile of Miss Fleming is celestial to us The hair of Miss Rhodes is curly enough For the woman about whom we'd all make a fuss If ever she appeared and was real sho nuff. Miss Dannelly's eyes. have a twinkle you knows g Which really we love and would all like to own. Q Miss Stafford, so small, is the one to bestow ' Her slender form on our lady unknown. But the likeness of a teacher so nobly planned. I'm sure will not come within our life's span. So, pupils, I implore you to please be content. With the teachers we have, by chance to us sent.
