Professors Are Plentiful.
An ordinary teacher now considers himself a professor when he teaches a high school and demands the title. A township superintendent is always a professor. In the educational line it takes some little work to acquire the title. A. barber cannot call himself a professor unless he can shave a mah without cutting him twice and asking him if the razor hurts. Twelve music lessons at a" quarter apiece have made several professors of music. Many have fairly earned the title by hard work, but many more haven't. Dancing masters cannot be anything but professors. There are thirty-eight professors in Hazleton. Enough to crowd a small hall when an university extension meeting is going on. rHa_leton Sentinel.
