"Great teaching," declared Professor J. L. Lowes last night, "is that behind which lies a sum of knowledge of which only one-tenth is used. He is the last teacher who never stops learning.

"Of some 40 or more teachers under whom I have studied," continued Mr. Lowe, "only two stand out clearly, because they knew the whole field of their subject from first hand. That means more in teaching than anything I know."
