And if a teacher is a real teacher and also a specialist then it's no w.onder that children like to go to school. ~- · ~-- Sbarpe· Your Wit·Just tantalizing enough to sharpen the wits, and to make it a sport all will enjoy. ;I ~ ·.. · " " " MH Sd·alat· the IntellectTakes you on a keen search for words lost to your vocabulary, brings you in contact with the new ones, brushes you up on your geography, until you unconsciously prepare yourself to occupy a higher intellectual plane. ,. ,.
