The Studious Teacher

A TEACHER who habitually neglects to study his lesson, will soon degenerate. The cistern that is always letting out and taking little in, will very soon be dry. He is an ill mower who never whets his scythe; he spoils both his work and his weapon. The unstudious teacher making little progress himself, his scholars will make less. Ten years hence, you shall find him pursuing the same well-worn track of thought, quoting the same texts of Scripture, and telling the same stories. The habit of teaching remains, but he has lost interest in it. It now costs him nothing to teach, and we generally value anything by what we pay for it.
