In consequence of the Dominie's go-as-you-please methods of educating
village children, the inevitable happens--he is dismissed, giving place
to an approved disciplinarian.
The unhappy Dominie, forced to leave his bairns, seeks to enlist--but
the doctor discovers that his lungs are affected, and he is ordered an
open-air life.
He returns as a cattleman to the village where he has previously been a
schoolmaster. Incidentally, he watches the effect of his successor's
teaching, the triumph of his own methods and the discomfiture of his
rival at the hands of the children, in whom the Dominie cultivated
personality and the rights of bairns.
