NAME IT?
The proverbial professor, as
you know, is the most forgetful
being of all mankind— in fact, the
more forgetful the man, the bet-
ter the professor. According to
this standard of excellency, a.
fourth period class of the past
term has adjudged their teacher,
by far, the superior of all Nor-
mal instructors.
It was the very last lesson of
the term, so naturally ail were
looking forward to the especial
delight of meeting with each
OGher and their beloved teacher
for the last forty-five minutes of
the term. The class rambled in
by ones and twos, and chattered
as the custom of all good Nor-
malites, awaited the coming of
the professor. But the professor
did not come and no one knew
the reason, tho many gladly of-
fered explanations.
The next question that arose
was, who was to be teacher. Of
course everyone wanted to be.
Not a play teacher either—a real
sure enough teacher. The young
lady who received the honor felt
the dignity of the position enough
to render her part excellently.
All hopes of the appearance of
the professor had left the hearts
of the students, however just
fifteen minutes and twenty-four
seconds before the period ended
he came, What did it matter
how breathless, as long as he
came? What did it matter if he
had forgotten this, his best class,
as long as he returned to it?
There is a moral to this little
truth. You, who are intending
to rise high in the sphere of
pedagogy, remember where in
greatness doth lie. Also ask Mr.
Woodson if this is not right?

Black and water carrier coach.
