Description

Magazine caption: Of course Sadie couldn't be made to realize that she played a sharp instead of a flat if the teacher did not tear his hair and storm around the room. Moreover the teacher who gets into a rage at the most trifling mistake must surely have a beneficial effect upon Sadie's delicate nervous system. How unnecessary it is to explain the difficulty quietly and intelligently when one can become so picturesque by imitating a maniac. What value has patience in teaching anyhow?
