WANTED; THE GREAT TEACHER
Any one who follows the .large
educational gatherings, in the Unit
ed States as well as in .Europe,
will bj impressed with the ever-in
creasing emphasis placed upon the
making of great teachers. The
head of education in India .said
recentlv that this war was the vi
tal and central problem .of educa
liou throughout the Orient. Eng
land has been founding .training
classes for teachers, of which the
admirable new teaching college at
Leeds is a fitting examplee, while
the headmasters and college presi-1
dents of the United States and of I
Canada spend no small portion of
their time in searching for teachers j
adequate for the constantly grow- J
iug needs of an expanding curric
ulum. •
But how are we to train such
teachers? The task furnishes a
matchless opportunity of the col
lege. A large proportion of under
graduates in college lecture-rooms,
are virtually untouched, either iu
feelings or in intellect, by the.min
istry of the church. Whatever the
ministry may have been in our
fathers' times, it is not today sig
nificant or effective in imparting
its message to stuaenis. ine wui
Ls periodically shown by test ques
tions concerning the Bible, English
lit :riture, and church . history. Au
observer who recently visited a
do;c;. of the leading preparatory
schools, whose headmasters and
teachers unite in lamenting the
inadequacy of the Sunday schools
and of religious training in the i
home, was convinced that many
students go up to the best .prepara
tory schools in almost a heathenish
condition as regards rc'iglon and
Christian knowledge.
It is the day and time of . the
teacher's .ministry in "both sec
ondary schools aad collies. The
college professor who does not for
get that he is first a man,, then
a croftssor, and who can get past
t'i<» friendship of books and knowl
edge to a genuine friendship with
studeuts, can become one of the
highest forces in our civilization.
A* a western university the ob
server before mentioned had the
opportunity to meet at luncheon
thirty members of the faculty. The
subject for discussion was, "What
cau the professor do, really to as
sist students at the university in
discovering the values worth jvhile
iu college life?" Approximately
one half of the teachers asked to
oi- excused from the discussion. The
guest was especially .interested in
the answer ot the others, among
whom were th<8 men, according to
student testimony, that had a real
hcK cu the university vitality. One
was of the department of chemistry,
lie was prominent In student ac
tivities. When he was introduced
a student .said, "There is no man
nn,re truly liked in the •university
f'du Professor ." As the
professor talked it was felt that,
while he might be a good teacher of
chemistry, his department wag chief
ly Important in giving him a point
of departure from which he could
go forth to interest himself in the
lives of young men, After. the
conference he said: "If professors
want influence with students, let
them appear at debates, at .athletic
games, and at student mass meet
ings; le* them show real interest in
undergraduate activities of all sorts,
even at personal sacrifice."
When professors, instructors,
presidents, deans aud tutors .re
alize that teaching is a calling not
simply a means of livelihood, and
that every man who holds any
such Dosition must somehow dis
cover how. to reach, individually at
least, a small circle of students,
then the colleges wiU.no longer be
defined as "knowledge shops," but
as the homes of.those inspirations
and friendships, those ideals and
incitements that deeply enrich
all olie's every-day liviug.
While the modern drift in the
outside world may be toward techni
cal and exact education, the aim of
the college must still be to find
the ereat teacher, the man of
thougnt-provoking power , and of
spiritual capacity; sincere and
senulii- both.in scholarship and in
maaihood, of whom one car speak as
Car'vie spoke of Schiller, as a high
miulftering servant at Truth's al
tar," who "bor« him worthily of
the office he held."—Monitor.
Plants Have Nervous System Similar to

A PLANT is a stationary animal, and an animal is a moving plant.
The line of demarkation between the animal and vegetable king
doms is growing less sharp. Thev gradually merge into each other.
PLANTS HAVE NERVOUS SYSTEMS, AND DRUGS HAVE THE
SAME EFFECTS UPON THEM THAT THEY HAVE UPON ANI

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach
tho diseased portion of tho ear. There is
only one way to euro deafness, and that Is
by comitltutlonn! remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu
cous lining of tho Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
Bound or imperfect hearing, and vhen It Is
entirely closed. Deafness i« tho result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to Its normal condi
tion. hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot b»- cured by Mall's Catarrh Cure.
