[Sidenote: Interruptions]
Miss Hill was called into the hall by a visitor. As she left her
schoolroom she gave no command as to what was to be done during her
absence. She made no effort to catch the pupils in mischief by thrusting
her head in at the door from time to time as some teachers do in like
circumstances. When she returned to her room she asked no question as to
what had been done during her few minutes of absence. She thus commended
those who were quietly working,
“I am glad to note that the interruption that took me out of the room
did not interfere with your work.”
