Who is Jane's Teacher?—By Anne Goodwin Williams
"Who is Jane's teacher ?",we asked
of the mother ed a °harming little
eight-year-old girl.. The mother men-
tioned the name of jane's teacher in
the public school and then together
we performed some arithmetical prob-
lems to prove that "Miss Bennett"
was only one of Jane's many teachers
and that her teaching hours were less
than those of some of the others.
Suppose, we said, that Jane sleeps
from seven o'clock until seven, then
in a year she ha e 4,380 waking hours
