The profession of teaching

Abstract

Introduction: As I think of my boyhood days some of my most distinct and pleasant recollections, are those days spent in school. Well do I remember the little country school-house with its dilapidated appearance without, and its gloomy walls within, of broken seats, torn maps, mischievous scholars, and especially the dull ones, and of the punishments inflicted; these are but a few of the many incidents that are remembered of those school days.
