"Well," reported Easterly, hanging up the receiver, "we may land him. It seems that he is engaged to a Washington school-teacher, and Smith says she has him well in hand. She's a pretty shrewd proposition, and understands that Alwyn's only chance now lies in keeping his mouth shut. We may land him," he repeated. "Engaged!" gasped Mrs. Vanderpool. Zora quietly closed the door. Twenty-seven
The mother, who ought to be the child's confidant and guide in matters of sexual education, and could naturally be so if left to her own healthy instincts, has usually been brought up in false traditions which it requires a high degree of intelligence and character to escape from; the school-teacher, even if only called upon to give instruction in natural history, is oppressed by the same traditions, and by false shame concerning the whole subject of sex; the writer of manuals on sex has often only freed himself from these bonds in order to advocate dogmatic, unscientific, and sometimes mischievous opinions which have been evolved in entire ignorance of the real facts.
"Maria is dignified," said Evelyn, "but of course she has taught school a long time, and a school-teacher has to be dignified." "Are you intending to teach school?" asked Lee, and even as he asked the question he felt amused. The idea of this flower-like thing teaching school, or teaching anything, was absurd. She was one of the pupils of life, not one of the expounders.
In private schools for girls of what I may call the leisure class of society overwork is of course much more rare than in our normal schools for girls, but the precocious claims of social life and the indifference of parents as to hours and systematic living needlessly add to the ever-present difficulties of the school-teacher, whose control ceases when the pupil passes out of her house.
Louisa was always secretary because she was a school-teacher and was thought to have her hand in at that sort of work. Mrs. Jameson wrote a very kind, if it was a somewhat patronizing, sort of letter. She extended to us her very best wishes for our improvement and the widening of our spheres, and made numerous suggestions which she judged calculated to advance us in those respects.
We waited while our chaperon brought the battalion commander a mild-faced little man, more like a school-teacher than a soldier and it was decided that, as the trenches were not under fire at the moment, we might go into them. He led the way into the communication trench a straight-sided winding ditch, shoulder-deep, and just wide enough to walk in comfortably.
Sanine's sister, Lida, is in love with the officer Zaroudine, who abandons her later when she is with child. Lida wants to commit suicide, but Sanine stops her and proposes that she marry Dr. Novikov, who has been in love with her for a long time. Parallel to the history of Lida, the life story of Karsavina is presented. Yuri falls in love with this young and pretty school-teacher.
Fran is a reality she can't be dismissed." "It seems I can be. But of course I am nothing." "Grace! You are everything." She laughed. "Everything! At the word of an Abbott Ashton, a disgraced school-teacher, you make me less than nothing!" He cried out impetuously, "Shall I tell you why we must part?" Grace returned with a somber look, "So Fran is to have my place!"
About three weeks later, the Yankees come through there and told them they was free and told my old boss that if he wanted them to work he would have to hire them and pay them. The school-teacher stayed with mother's folks mother's white folks. The school-teacher was teaching white folks, not niggers. She was a Yankee, too.
He looked back affectionately upon the days he had passed in Kentucky, when a poor school-teacher, and was especially cordial to the Kentuckians. In the House he and Beck were sworn friends, and they continued their friendship when both of them had reached the Senate. I inherited Mr. Blaine's desk in the Ways and Means Committee room.
