It is always a pleasure to a teacher to have bright, energetic students, but teachers appreciate that all students are not of the same caliber of intellect. The ideal teacher endeavors to understand each pupil and do the best for him. The teacher is there 10 guide the student through the right paths of learning, but he is not there to do the thinking and the studying. These the student must do for himself. The student is usually safe in deferring to the teacher's superior wisdom and advice, and if he bears this in mind he will not lose faith in his teacher. One sometimes meets a pupil who has the ability to study, but will not apply himself, and yet desires to keep up with those who have spent more time on their studies. This class of student feels aggrieved when he is told to review his work. If you are one of these unfortunates, don't lose faith in your teacher, but show him that you are ambitious and interested in your work. Be assured that he is doing what is best for you and the difficulty is with you. He would be glad to have every pupil in his class bright, active, alert, and energetic. It would simplify his work.
Your future welfare is your teacher's constant care, his every attention is devoted to your progress, and it lies with you whether or not success shall attend his efforts. Have faith in your teacher—heed what he says, follow his instructions faithfully,
