Book excerpt: Excerpt from Maryland Educational Journal, Vol. 1: A School and Family Monthly; May, 1867 Teachers and parents and pupils need all the aid and encouragement, and all the benefits of others' example that it is possible to obtain from all sources, human and divine. Teaching is a science too little understood. We will not say that teachers are dishonest or recreant of duty, because they are at least not more so than any other class, while certainly they do more werk for less pay than others.
