Teaching a Fine Art

By Edward Brooks

I HAVE done my work, inspired with the idea that teaching is a beautiful art and a noble vocation. To me the teacher has seemed to be an artist, shaping the minds of his pupils into higher forms, and through them molding the generation in which they live. The true teacher has seemed to be painting pictures on the canvass of mind that shall last through the generations, and fade not in eternity. My own work was largely inspired by the spirit of the sentiment so felicitously phrased by an English writer,—“that divine and beautiful thing called teaching.” —Edward Brooks.
