...caused by mental and physical exercise, showing by the use of statistics how very great is the mental strain under which the teacher or literary man labors. The agriculturist, the artisan and the professional man in general who is not engaged in teaching the youth, are accustomed to continuous toil for at least ten hours daily six days in the week. With the instructor it is quite different; about one third of the year is spent in rest or in ways not directly connected with instruction, and besides, when employed, his day is shorter than other laborers.

The man who forgets himself in his work, who does not waste his energy by dividing his thoughts between himself and his work and who does not banish all truth from his toil by dreams of paltry fame-this man finds himself at length possessed by God and wins from his own obedience the unsought, unexpected success.

C. is taking Phil. I. He breaks forth...

They are training quietly and patiently throughout these weary weeks that Harvard may win more athletic laurels next spring. The course of training which these men have to undergo severely taxes their pluck and perseverance. Probably at examination times when they are exhausting so much of their mental energy, the strain is greater than at the time...
