1923 THE LOG 19223 one who will provide a reason, acceptable to the child mind, for doing the necessary work. These are some oi' the aims of' teaching out of' which the New Teacher may weave her ideals. Although school-teaching carries many responsibilities and at times demands self'-sacrifice to some degree, it is not a burden to be dreaded. It is rather the work which enables us to to give most 'freely of' the abilities we possess for the common good, and of' what worth are our abilities if we lock them up in a vault of selfishness and never bring them out to the sunshine of service '? Happiness is the hardest thing in the world to find when we seek it for ourselves alone, because our heart is closed to the wo1'ld in its selfishness, and happiness cannot enter in. Only when we open our hearts to others in service and forget to seek our own ends does happiness come creeping in at the opening and we find it there. What we get out of our work is only the result of what we put into it. Success in teaching depends on the teacher. She who performs the daily task doing as little as possible, spending the time, which might be used for the thorough performance of duties, in thinking of ways to get through as easily as possible, cannot expect a rich reward either materially or in that elusive quality-peace of mind-which follows the completion of work well done. The world isn't seeking the return of the teacher whose only thought was work and whose life held no pleasures, but the world will always recognise that the teacher worth while is the one who can put her soul into her work in the time appointed and whose thoughts are not on the dismissal bell during the day, the one who can play when it is time for play, but who can work and be happy i11 the doing when the time for play is over. Most likely there are but very few of us who can live up to all the ideals of what the teacher should be, but the ideals should not be cast aside simply because they can- not be attained in their full perfection. They give us something to shape our lives by, something to work for, and encourage us to give our best efforts to the work we have chosen. Being human, each one of us longs for Success and Happiness. The nearer we approach the ideals of teaching the nearer we come to our desire, for Happiness comes through service and Success with the achievements that service has wrought. X Rf, ST
