Teaching was an important and noble profession that plays a crucial role in shaping the character and learning of young people, making it second only to kings in its significance.
Use the passage to answer the question.
“To be a school master is an office second in importance to a King. Do you think it a mean [dull] task to take your fellow-citizens in their earliest years, to instill into them from the beginning sound learning and Christ himself, and return them to your country as so many honorable upright men? Fools may think this is a humble office; in reality, it is very splendid . . . [N]o one does more for it than the man who shapes its unformed young people, provided he himself is learned and honorable—and you are both . . . An upright man who is above all temptation is what that office needed, a man devoted to his duties even if he is paid nothing.”
