O poplars fair. Good-bye O school,-the future calls: -We soon shall be outside your walls. But though I..ife's cup be bitter brew. We'll always have fine thoughts of you! Philippe Deschenes, ' 39 LAST LINES There is a place wc hate to leave. But we, to-day. are now Seniors: And though we-'d rather stay and cleave, We must cede our place to others.

Oh, there you have the worst paid and the best rewarded of all vocations. Dare not enter it unless you love it. For the vast majority of men and women, it has no promise of wealth or fame: but they to whom it is dear for its own sake are among the nobility of mankind. I sing the praise of THE UN- KNOWN TEACHER. Great generals win battles. but it is The Unknown Soldier who wins the war. Famous educators plan new systems of pedagogy. but it is THE UNKNOWN TEACHER who guides the young. He lives in obscurity. For him no trumpets blare. no golden decorations are decreed. Patient in his daily task, he strives to conquer the evil powers which are the enemies of youth. Knowledge may be gained from books, but the love of knowledge is transmitted only by personal contact. No one has deserved better of the American republic than THE UNKNOXVN TEACHER. No one is more worthy to be enrolled in a democratic aristocracy. King of liiin- self and servant of mankind . 0 Page 9 -
