ABSTRACT
The wise teacher is a good judge of character—or ought to be—for the ability to handle people tactfully largely depends upon an appreciation of their main characteristics. It is quite impossible to treat all alike, for what will suit one will offend another: some pupils are to be encouraged and others restrained, and unless the right treatment is accorded to each the best results cannot be expected. Probably in every person there is a kind of subconscious element of character-analysis which saves him from making glaring mistakes, but the ability to gauge the differing types of temperaments and their corresponding methods of treatment can quite easily be developed, and with advantage.
