To this year's Normalites: As you, in days to come, look into the faces of the pupils in your classroom, may you find abundantly the same sort of inspiration and satisfaction as the teacher pictured in the following lines by an anonymous poet: Iwrite no poem men's hearts to thrill, No song I sing to lift men's souls- To battle front no soldiers lead, In halls of state I boast no skillg I just teach school. I just teach school. But poet's thrill And singer's joy and soldier's fire And statesmen's power - All, all are mine: For in this little group where still I just teach school. Are poets, soldiers, statesmen - all I see them in the sparkling eye, In face aglow with purpose strong, In straightened bodies, tense and tall, When I teach school. And they, uplifted gaze intent On cherished heights they soon shall reach, And mine the hands that led them on! - And I inspired! Therefore, content, I still teach school. V Sincerely, M. OLIVE CLELAND. Greetings to the students of '47-'48! My best wishes follow you as you go out to enter your chosen profession. Your career will have its difficulties, but I hope you may make it a happy, useful and satisfying one, for, as John Ruskin puts it: Education does not mean teaching people what they do not know. It means teaching them to behave as they do not behave. It is painful, con- tinual and difficult Work to be done by kindness, by watching, by Warning, by precept and by praise, but, above all, by example. May you carry away with you many happy memories of our art classes. Sincerely, CONSTANCE E. WAGAR. 'fNo lesson is so important to learn, and no habit is so important to acquire, as a right judgment and a delight in fine characters and noble actions. - Aristotle. -B. LATIMER. Page Seven
