German “Thoroughness.”
Max Walter, head of a boys’ train
ing school In Frankfort, tells the fol
lowing story by way of Illustrating
German thoroughness:
A venerable teacher In one of Ger
many's preparatory schools was dis
tractedly ambling about his study one
day when he noticed a stray piece of
paper. Picking It up he saw that It
was a Latin composition from one of
his devoted disciples.
On looking at It more closely he de
tected an error which he had over
looked. Seating himself at his desk,
he dipped his pen In good red Ink and
made the necessary correction. He
then folded the paper Into a neat
roll, stuck it In the fire, and with It
lighted his pipe.
