as hi ten-Ht school, la the acli' ol 'if experi
ence. There are no short cuts through the
vast fields of knowledge, no short terms
and lonif vacation, no high-sounding di
plomas conferring pretentious decrees and
titles as rewards for a few years of superfi

she teaches thoroughly, from the root, up,
without the aid of crutches and text-books,

sparkling water bubhles up. When she
graduates a pupil, she has every reason to
be proud of him. He miy be old, wrinkled
