" Once in Finland, i sat upon the shores of lake Ladoga with a farm lad. A middle aged man passed us by and my small companion stood up and with great reverence took off his cap.
I asked him, afterwards, ' who was this man?' and with special seriousness the boy answered, 'He is
a teacher?'
I again asked,'Is it your teacher?'
'NO,' answered the boy. He is the teacher from the neighboring school.
Then you know him personally? i persisted.
'NO', he answered with astonishment.
Then why did you greet him with such reverence? Still more seriously, my little companion answered, "Because he is a teacher,'
People who have forgotten the Teacher have forgotten their future."
