3.2.5 Inspirational Companionship

A further compensation attached to teaching is that of inspirational companionship.

It is a blessed privilege to enjoy the sunshine of youth.

Every pupil contributes an association with one of God’s choice spirits.

To live and work with children and adolescents is one of the finest of safeguards against old age.

The teacher not only partakes of the joy of his group—they constitute him a link between his generation and theirs. Their newness of life, their optimism, their spontaneity, their joy, they gladly pass on to their teacher.
