A VERY PROFITABLE INVESTMENT


The most profitable investment a nation can make to ensure a better future for its citizens is in education. Educated citizens are very valuable to the development and prosperity of their country.
Well-informed people recognize the importance of using the “weapons of mass instruction” to avert the use of “weapons of mass destruction”.
More schools and more committed teachers should be the first item in any government’s budget. Children are very eager to learn and if a teacher cannot interest them and make them like their lessons, he is not fit to be a teacher.
A sympathetic teacher draws out all the good qualities in his pupils,and his gentleness prevents them from being afraid of him. Each boy then shows himself just as he is, and the teacher is able to see the line best suited to him and to help him to follow it. To such a teacher a boy will come with all his difficulties, knowing that he will be met with sympathy and kindness, and, instead of hiding his weaknesses, he will be glad to tell everything to one of whose loving help he is sure.
