-4 THE ECHO OF 1927 jg A Tribute to the Unknown Teacher And what of teaching? Ah, there you haze the worst paid, and the best rewarded, of all the vocations. Dare not to 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 iwhom it is dear for its own sake, are among the nobility of mankind. I sing the praise of the unknown teacher. Great generals win campaigns, but it is the unknown soldier who wins the war. Famous educators plan new systems of pedagogy, but it is the unknown teacher zvho delivers and guides the young. He liz'cs in obscurity and contends with hardship. For him no trumpets blare, no chariots wait, no golden decorations are decreed. He keeps the watch along the borders of darkness and makes the attack on the trenches of ignorance and folly. Patient in his daily duty, he strives to conquer the cz-il powers zvhich are the enemies of youth. He azvakens sleeping spirits. He quickens the indolent, encourages the eager, and steadies the unstable. He communicates his ozi.ii joy in learning and shares until boys and girls the best treasures of his mind. He lights many candles zvhich, in later years, zvill shine back to cheer him. This is his reward. Knowledge may be gained from books; but the love of knowledge is transmitted only by personal contact. No one has deserved better of the republic than the unknown teacher. No one if more zvorthy to be enrolled in a dramatic aristocracy, “king of himself and servant to mankind —HENRY VAN DYKE Page Eleven
