For relief from backache or that tired-out feeling I depend on— , I said teaching is three times as tough today. It is There are more machines, bigger clas- ses, higher standards, tougher examinations, There is also psychology, at home and at school. I said teachers were three times as good as they used to be. It's true. With a few ex- ceptions my teachers — and yours old friend — were mice. Frightened, naive, poor, apolo- getic, they were fair game for school boards, home and school clubs, parents and students. Today they're less timid, more sophisticated, less shabby, ess intolerant, more interest- ing, and, just as interested. Teaching is this: five days a week, eight or nine times a day facing at battery of about 35 pairs of eyes—cold, hot, curious, indifferent, wondering, cynical, adoring, rebellious, sparkling, dull — and doing something about it. 0 Plan Exchange Of Gifts At UCW A t Brucefield The "Friendly Unit" of Bruce- Field United Church Women et last Monday at the home f Mrs. Harvey Taylor with a rood attendance.

Eaton, Seaf erth, an eloquent shrtig And a ta`Pie, al -Canadian taciturnity,. "Howja like teaghing?" they'd ask. "Not bad," I'd answer, After three years in the tea- ehing game (huh! some geme!) I can state flatly that teaching is probably the Most fascinating and frustrating job -in the world, I can state flatly that teach, ing is three times .es tough and teachers are three times as good as when you and I were young, Maggie. Why la it faacinating?I hesitate to say,, Teaching is a thing that seems to attract the eliehe. "The blossoining (or even worse, the floWering) of young minds," The "thrill of kindling 'a spark of knowledge." The "molding of malleable me- tals in our youth "; And a lot of jazz like that. * That's not why it's fascinata ing. The real reason is that you can act as the old fencing- master. Letting the kids try their points against yours, Showing them tricky ripostes and clever footwork. Teaching them, by example, the morals and manners that must go with the skill. And then_ seeing them go out and enter the lists, quiv- ering but confident, afraid but fearless, Why is it frustrating? Oh, it is a grinding wrenching, tear- ing thing that eats your strength. It is a paper jungle, It is a despair of bright minds in broken homes and dull minds in happy homes. It is a rage at the democratic, tax-paid obstacles between what you could do and what you can do. gnjay Qiti The Fidelity Unit of Wesley, l.ICW met in the ehureh parlour en the afternoon of November 12.
