AT the present time nearly every nation has its system of schools: teaching has an unbroken history from the times of the Greeks and the Romans down to now. Quoting Mr. Webster. “A teacher is one who imparts knowledge.’' But that is just half of the story. Teachers act only as guides, leaving the pupils as much opportunity for growth as possible. Then on the knotty problems of youth they give advice. Because of more years of experience, because of a wider knowledge and better acquaintance with the sources of information, they are able to foresee the possibility of an unhappy consequence resulting from a prospect that was seemingly good at one time. Not only for the art of the faculty in directing the growth of pupils in experience, but also for its willingness to give of its personal hours, we are deeply grateful: for its friendship we have the highest esteem.

Un jWemortam Jane Seymour is gone, and yet she is with us. Ten years she generously gave her rich self so that many who were in her classroom will always see far horizons and things that are lovely because of her broad culture and sympathetic understanding of all people. Her impatience with compromises, her love of the beautiful her faith in youth, her devotion to spiritual values are with us still. She was an idealist and set a standard which we. in her memory, may well strive to attain. —Adelaide Ber.
