The Making of a Teacher: A Contribution to Some Phases of the Problem of a Religious Education (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Making of a Teacher: A Contribution to Some Phases of the Problem of a Religious Education

Teaching is always prophetic. It aims to de scribe the needs of the future, and to equip the childhood of the present for the mature life that is to be. Teaching must always proceed on the as sumption that its test is to be found not in the im mediate product which it sends out from the class room, but in the wider circles of influence which it will exert on the days and the activities that are to be. A wise teacher concerns himself pri marily with the task of equipping human souls for life's service. It lays the emphasis of its concern not upon the scraps of knowledge which it gives from day to day, but upon the fiber of character which it builds for all the years to come.
