The Book of Administration. T T Then came Sir Kay, the senescbalf' Tennyson? Gareth and Lynette. In the Middle Ages there were huge, high towers, built as a part of castle walls. These towers were used for lookout towers, that is, watchers were stationed there to guard the approach of an enemy. These watchers could see far out into the country and view all the beautiful scenery of the surrounding territory, as well as ap- proaching enemies and dangers. The faculty of a school might be compared to the lookout towers. The teachers are experienced and can better glimpse the dangers which the students, like those people in the castle, can not see. The faculty, because of their additional experience, can see the beautiful country-side, yet to be found and explored by the stu- dents, just as the watchers in the lookout towers of old could see that which was to come. Theteto Sir Launcelot answer'd, It is well: Yet better if the king abide, and leave The leading of his young knights to me. -Tennyson's The Last Tournaments.
