Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Old Greek; An Old-Time Professor in an Old-Fashioned College: A Memoir of Edward North, With Selections From His Lectures
This volume carries a message of momentous import to the American teacher. It indicates the sources of a teacher's personal power over his pupils, and how he may better train the intellect by establishing a bond of sympathy. It is the story of a life that glorified the teacher's profession, lifting the calling out of bondage and drudgery and clothing it in a new garb. The joy, the power, the nobility of the profession of the teacher, have never been more effectively exemplified than in Doctor North's career, or more inspiringly presented than in his written words; He was not only a great teacher, he taught others how to teach.
