Excerpt from The Art of Securing Better Teaching Positions: A Handbook for Teachers

One morning the postman delivered the following letter:

Gentlemen:

I have been a professor of experience for twelve years. Will you kindly tell me what is the opportunity for professing in Porto Rico?

Little did I suppose when I opened this letter that it would ever be made the text of a book for teachers; but the thoughts which prompted the writing of the letter, viz., what is the opportunity for teaching, what chances are there for me, how can I succeed in securing a good position, are, indeed, in every teacher"s mind, although they may not be expressed so uniquely. Whether the professor later embarked for the island, there to "profess" in the noble art of bootblacking or in the more humble duties of the schoolroom, as the case may be, and whether he there accumulated wealth and fame are matters which are shrouded in as much mystery as is the solution of the problem presented in the closing paragraph of Mr. Stockton"s famous novel.
