It is discouraging to think that years of service in a calling do not qualify one to speak authoritatively upon the problems of that calling, and especially upon technique. And yet it is precisely upon that point of technique that the criticisms of elementary education are most drastic.
She was doing her own part, she felt at all events, in a manner utterly lifeless and mechanical. It was a stifling existence! The most discouraging thing about it was that the others in the company seemed not to feel it in the same way.
"Yes, I am probably wrong, and if I knew you, I should find out I was wrong, and that would irritate me and make me dislike you more. So you see we are necessary enemies." "No, I don't dislike you." "Worse and worse; for you certainly will not like me." "You are very discouraging." "I am fond of facing the truth, though some day you will deny that. Where is that queer friend of yours?"
I'm glad to see you. Now come right up to the "Misty Star" with me, I tell you it made my heart thump. Didn't know whether the Misty Star was a balloon or a planet; didn't care much. Miss Gray was so kind and I was tired. Hunting a job in an unknown language is rather discouraging." "Discouraged!" laughed Jane, poking up the fire and arranging a big chair in which she put Mr.

The cheering on our right told of the repulse by our forces, and had a discouraging effect upon the Federal troops moving against us.
We knew very little of Lancaster and resorted to the guide-books for something of its antecedents, only to learn the discouraging fact that here, as everywhere, the Romans had been ahead of us. The town has a history reaching back to the Roman occupation, but its landmarks have been largely obliterated in the manufacturing center which it has become.
An officer who had been despatched for advice and information to Baron Bentinck, at Zwolle, who was in communication with the allies, returned with the discouraging news that General Bulow had orders not to pass the Yssel, the allies having decided not to advance into Holland beyond the line of that river.
