PRAYER FOR TEACHERS By Frank Gleason O lord of learning and learners, We are at the best but blundereis In the God-like business of teaching. May we so awaken interest that discipline will be Less and less necessary. Help us to realize that in the deepest sense We cannot teach anybody anything, That the best we can do is to help him learn for himself. Give us reverence for our materials, That we may master the particulars of our particular fields; But help us to see that all facts are dead until they are related to the rest of knowledge and the rest of life. Help us to see that education is after all but the adven ture of trying to make ourselves at home in the modem world. May we be as shepherds of the Spirit as well as masters of the mind. Give us, O Lord of teachers a sense of the divinity of our undertaking. Amen. WAS. mEARLY FlZASlkhw APMITTEJ? TO THE p. _ 1 — ■ felt they should have. Thi created less and less floats every year.
