mere department teacher. Before the terms “correlation” and “concentration had become used to mantle wisdom and gross ignorance alike, they had become realities to this teacher. Any depattment for which she became responsible had no reason for existing in her eyes except as it ministered and was ministered to by all others. To realize and compass an intelligent survey of these relations has cost inestimable toil in research and assimilative creation of ideals and methods. Those who profit by the fruits of these years of masterly building, can not be expected to realize the cost; though they may and must feel that no ordinary price has bought that grasp of educational principles in their origins and applications. The purpose of this sketch has not been to magnify, but to indicate how great careers are made. The high character and wide influence known far and by all readers of The Quiver, as an inspiration to every student can receive no enhancement by pen. But too often we drift into a lack of vigorous emulation from the fatalistic tendency to rest in the conviction that some can and some can not achieve great powers. No one, least of all the subject of this sketch, could trace when or how the differentiation of this career from those of hosts of others took place. Probably some instinct hinted that this act makes for strength or dissipation of energy ; but such whispers come to all. It depends on the keenness with which one listens and the determination to work the impulse into a positive act instead of a dreamy estimate of the desirabilities, that make one a positive and leaves the other a negative being. Search of this record of thirty-five years in teaching and development, fails to find the putting into action of each conviction in line of duty lagging long after the mental or moral conclusion had been reached in ideal. Can more be said in presenting character to the readers? There arc a few names which could not be blotted from the roll of the faculty of this school without changing in most marked degree all that the institution stands for, past, present, and future. Among those, no name is spoken with highest respect and reverence more frequently than that of Hose C. Swart.
