GoiriK back to my pre-8chool days I fiml my.Helf
buildiiiR castles in the ai^ with teaching and mis
sionary work as my modeja. Very eajrer was I to
pet what passed to help me in my buildin^r. I re
member that it was near Ij'ncoln’s birthday that our
teacher told us of his life, his struKtjles and hia
irreatnesa in th(> end but the thought that I remem
ber moat is this; "I will study and prepare myself
aiul some day my chance will come.” This T added
to my castle and continued to work. After 1 had
finished mv prHmmar and hijrh school days I real-
iz(ui that in order to be a teacher in the true sense
of the word one mn-^t bn a social wm-ke” With
this knowledife I found that th" tea"hiu''
vided a better opnortun'tv to live the life I desire
than anv other. So now T find mvself in the Normal
school in order to better fit myself for the task
before me.
What do I find in the field of teachinpr? First
of all I find real joy in school work, the exchan^rinp
of ideas and in studying children, how to ci-eale
their interest and make their school life happier.
The teacher as I see it should try to show each
child that she values him and wants to helji him.
Not only do I find opportunity to help the chil
dren but also the people of the community and to
make them happier, to hel)) the fortunate as well as
the unfortunate, to carry sunshine where there is
frloom. To do this does not call for Ki’cat jrifts but
simply a smile that comes from the heart and kind
deeds of lovinp service.

WHY 1 CHOSE TEA('HlN(i AS MV I’KOKESSION
As early as I can remembt^r when iiuestioned as
to what 1 wanted to be, rny answer has alwa.vs been
"a teacher” and a missionary. To this end I have
worked and shall continue to do so. 1 have tried
to find out why the work in this tield has always
been my chief aim. I am convinced that it was not
for money when I fir.nt decided tor I was then rather
younp to let the crave for money cajitivate me and
now I know' that there are other tields which offer
more money. \N’hy have I then chosen this field?
Is money not an important factoi' in determining
the course of one life? I admit that money is es
sential but a true teach«'r is not K'li'lccl by money
but rather the earnest desire to serve. I am con
vinced that love of service must have been m>
KuidinK star.

Professor Barnett pave to the student body of
th' State Normal School, a rare treat in the As
sembly Hall on Wednesday morninp, November,
11128. This treat was in the foi'm of a speech on a
very interesting subject. Time.
In this speech Professor P>arnett emphasized t)ie
fact that Tim" is not reckoned by the number of
times that the earth has revolved around the sun;
but that we reckon Time by the number and intens
ity of our experiences. He also said that althoupb
Methufelah lived manv hundreds of years, he was
not. psychologically speaking, as old as some of us.
This simi)ly means that although Methuselah lived
a very lone time, speakinp in terms of years, his in
tellectual attainments were not as preat as ours.
Professor Barnett received the undivided atten
tion of the entire student body while he delivcL’ed
his version of “Time.”
