What do I consider a teacher should be? One who breathes life into knowledge so that it takes new form in progress and civilization.

I cannot but say a word and look my disapproval when I hear that my country is spending millions for war and war engines-more, I have heard, than twice as much as the entire public school system costs the nation.

The living word awakened my soul, gave it light, hope, joy, set it free!

Good friends walk in when the old ones walk out.
