But if education is the supply of material to a growing manhood, the education there provided was all a man needed who was man enough to aid his own growth; and for those who have not already reached that point, it is matter of infinite inconsequence what they or their parents find or miss.

But I am writing of a period long gone by.
In his second year, willing to ease his father how--ever little, he sought engagements in teaching; and was soon so far successful that he had two hours every day occupied--one with a private pupil, and the other in a public school.

The master of that school used afterwards to say that the laird of Glenwarlock had in him the elements of a real teacher.

But indeed Cosmo had more teaching power than the master knew, for not in vain had he been the pupil of Peter Simon--whose perfection stood in this, that he not only taught, but taught to teach.

Life is propagation.
