Keadeth this and speedily repent of thy grumblings We submit that the lot of the teacher who cometh back for more learning must needs be the harst) BY MRS LEONE 1IUXSAKER Now in no wise do I make this record of my own will and choice but having been commanded I do set my hand to write somewhat concerning what has come to pass And lo I write concerning that time when I Universspake of pursuing my education at the ity Now it had come to pass that the superintendent of schools had many times spoken after this manner: Now of a surety all teachers must is speedily become eertiiied and thus it And I now said unto him: Lo if thou wilt unto me a Leave of Absence I shall grant accomplish this thing But he did lift up his voice and did say Nay and wherewith is she by whom thou wilt be Sumreplaced? Get thee again and again to the mer School And I perceived that in his heart he reasoned Ihus: Behold this woman now laboreth for small wages but verily this amount must be increased if she become certified Now it happened that this wicked superintendent did depart and another came And this one ruled with a less firm hand and he did grant the Leave of Absence Now I would that ye might know that when I spake saving: Lo I go for these three quarters my daughter saith: Wherefore? Are thou then weary of the Summer School? And I answered and said Nay but of being asked: With what degree art thou certified? And I must needs reply: I am but authorized Now behold my neighbor was grieved because or my hardness of heart and did murmur exceedingly: How is it that after these ninety and nine years thou dost leave thy labor when my son cometh to thee lo be taught? And I made answer meekly: I will leturn to labor with thy son his brother Wherefore she said: Go tner but return speedily for lo we esteem thee highly But In her heart she reasoned thus: Verily this woman is a friend and neighbor and must needs live out her days among us in peace and need we suppose that a stranger in our school will suffer the contentions of our children and restrain her hand from smiting them? And behold the morning dawned and it was the Registration Day And it came to pass that I waxed frantic in the effort to look well to the ways of my household in the morning hours insomuch that my husband did ask: Can I help thee? Now behold ye know of such questions that they aie purely rhetorical and according are answered Nay But lo 1 did rejoice exceedingly and did answer: Get thee lo the closet and bring forth (he vacuum cleaner for lo there yet remaincth to me vast expanses of hard surfaces to be waxed and polished Now I perceived that my spouse was greatly astonished but he saith: For thy sake I will do this tiling But it was as though I saw into his heart and in his heart he said: Now verily the evening will arrive and the bishopric meeteth not and I would that 1 might read my book in peace without the buzzing of the vacuum cleaner wberefor I will do this thing And behold he did labor mightily insomuch that his tongue did protrude from one side of bis mouth and he did lift up his voice and call: Came And I did leave the dining room and did make my way to the bedroom where he saith unto me: Look And 1 looked and beheld curling wisps of dust where he had moved the bed and he saith unto me reproachfully: Whence cometh he dost? And I answered and said: Lo it is so every week Now beheld he saith yet again: Come Look And I left the dining room and he saith: Dost thou like the bed in this position? And I answered: Yes And the third time he ealloth in a loud voice Come And I left the dining room and in the living room lie saith unto me: How i it that dust reposeth upon the window drapery? Now verity the furnace runneth not And lo I was wroth and I would that I might answer sharply but I pondered in my heart how dearly peace is purchased and I restrained to answer him meekly: Hast thou forgotten the Summer School and the canning cf the fruits of orchard and vineyard? And lo he had compassion on me and did tc'inove the iust from the drapery Now behold the son of our daughter aged four did cuter the litchev ynd did salute me t saying: To I hunger Oivp me a cookie Now verily jiiycbjvj i the light of my' luY tom I looked at the clock how it recorded but the speedy passing of time and I hardened my heart and did cay alter this manner: Now behold thou knowest the whereabouts of the cookie jar But I had forgotten that this child must needs always look into what lies upon the next shelf And it came to pass that suddenly he did commence to weep and to lament in an exceeding loud voice And I did not leave the dining room but spake toward the kitchen in this wise: What ailoth thee? And he answered: In my mother’s house is no honey but lo thy measure is full and runneth over Now it came to pass that I did leave tbc dining room with exceeding great haste and behold it was as he had said Truly my measure did run over and did dribble most steadily and stickily onto the newly waxed floor Now behold these things are exceedingly painful to contemplate and I make an end that I may write somewhat of my registration In the day thereof it happened that Dr Burke did have compassion on me because of certain credit hours which were lost from my transcript even mine credit hours from the ancient and extinct Erigham Young College for Composition and Rhetoric and in these days it is known as Basic Communications and he spoke saying: Lo it is not meet that thou should repeat these classes Behold I will arise and go with thee to Dr Hendricks who is Head Now Dr Hendricks did see us approaching afar off nevertheless he did not flee but harkened unto Dr Burke: Now thou seest that it is not seemly for one of her advanced years to repeat 1 2 and 3 Now' therefore wilt thou waive them? And Dr Hendricks did cast his eyes upward and did lift up his hands and lie saith: Now not even John Carlisle can do this thing and comest thou to me? And it was made known to me that in bis heart he thought: Now wherefore doth this grandmother leave her fireside and come to afflict me? And unto me he saith: Hast thou visited the Church Offices and the State Capitol? And I did answer: Yes verily And it came to pass that I did run to and fro and did labor mightily to speak in sign language with my adviser over the heads of a numerous concourse of the assembled multitude And in due course I dicgcarofully inscribe upon my registration card Wherefore I did rejoice exceedingly because speedily did I obtain the signatures of adviser and dean Nevertheless Doan Carlisle did recall me saying: What is this that thou hast listed? Now verily thou needest it not Get thee back and substitute another And it came to pass that in substituting yet two other courses must needs be changed for lo their hours did conflict one with another Nevertheless it was done and lo Mrs Shaw was sorely displeased and she spake thus: Now of a surety the first way were better and what mcancth the dean? Now get thee hence and odd to this thy exact science instead of thine elective And behold it came to pass that 1 did efface my insciiptions with many black strokes and did endeavor to find soace tor writing as 1 had been commanded And now was my adviser appeased and she did inseribe her name and saith unto me: Take it to the clean And it came to pass that I did go to the dean And he smilcth at me and saith: Get thee lo the Iniormation Table and procure a new card and do thou inscribe anew for verily this hath become on abomination in my sight Now all these things did I do and wearily did I approach the tables whence class cards were dispensed And one saith unto me: Lo Biology is closed And another saith: Nay there are no cards for Enjoying Music But the third had compassion saying: Verily thou mayest enter into History 4 And lo hope sprang in my heart and I said Of a surety now will I obtain a card for Dr Hayward’s class But one saith: Nay English 54 is closed and thou need not ’suppose there will he move cards And lo I beheld my son afar ofl mingling with the multitude And I did make my way to him with great difficulty and I did murmur and complain bitterly forasmuch as I had obtained only one class But he spake from a merry heart for saith he: Io I was given the lat card for English i4 and my registration and my joy are full Now I will obtain for then a fliird registration jh card and will thou make haste?
