Class Quote by William Lyon Phelps

“The teacher should make a concerted effort never to lose his temper in the presence of the class. If a man, he may take refuge in profane soliloquies. If a woman, she may follow the example of one sweet-faced tranquil girl who went out in the yard and gnawed a post.” quote by William Lyon Phelps — Download Open image
