Pearl S. Buck
Only the brave should teach....Teaching is a vocation. It is as sacred as priesthood as innate a desire, as inescapable as the genius which compels a great artist. If he has not the concern for humanity, the love of living creatures, the vision of the priest and the artist, he must not teach.
Pearl S. Buck
Iowans know themselves and what they are doing. They are doing well.
