The first great difficulty which the teacher feels is a sort of _moral responsibility for the conduct of others_.

If his pupils do wrong, he feels almost personal responsibility for it.

As he walks out some afternoon, wearied with his labors, and endeavoring to forget, for a little time, all his cares, he comes upon a group of boys in rude and noisy quarrels, or engaged in mischief of some sort, and his heart sinks within him.

It is hard enough for any one to witness their bad conduct with a spirit unruffled and undisturbed, but for their teacher it is perhaps impossible.

He feels _responsible_; in fact, he is responsible.
