If his scholars are disorderly, or negligent, or idle, or quarrelsome, he feels _condemned himself_ almost as if he were himself the actual transgressor.
This difficulty is, in a great degree, peculiar to a teacher.

A physician is called upon to prescribe for a patient; he examines the case, and writes his prescription.

When this is done his duty is ended; and whether the patient obeys the prescription and lives, or neglects it and dies, the physician feels exonerated from all responsibility.

He may, and in some cases does, feel _anxious concern_, and may regret the infatuation by which, in some unhappy case, a valuable life may be hazarded or destroyed.

But he feels no _moral responsibility_ for another's guilt.
It is so with all the other employments in life.
