MR. BRAITHWAITE, THE NEW TEACHER. HE BEHAVED VERY DIFFERENTLY WITH THE STUDENTS IN HIS CLASS. HE MADE THEM LOOK DOWN SHAMEFULLY, REALIZING THEIR MISTAKES. HE FOUGHT WITH THEM, SOMETIMES HE ALSO WRESTLED WITH THEM. SLOWLY, YET STEADILY HE BROUGHT THE LIGHT OF KNOWLEDGE INTO THEIR LIVES AND LATER ON STARTED LOVING THEM, IMMENSELY. HIS STUDENTS WHO WERE FAMOUS FOR THEIR HOODLUMS, WHO WERE VERY SHAMELESS, STARTED RESPECTING HIM, CALLING HIM ‘SI&Rgrave;. HE WAS THE ONE WHO TAUGHT THEM TO CALL THE GIRLS RESPECTFULLY WITH A ‘MIS&Sgrave;. HE TAUGHT THEM PERSONAL HYGIENE AND HE SAT WITH THEM TO READ SHAKESPEARE. HE WAS A TEACHER WITH SOME DEFINITE AIM, A TARGET. HE CHANGED THE HATRED, ANGER AND CONTEMPT INTO LOVE. HE TRANSFORMED THE REVOLUTIONARY NATURE OF THESE TEENAGERS INTO CONFIDENT MINDS. HE OPENED THE WAYS TO THINK ABOUT OTHERS, FROM OTHE&Rgrave;S POINT OF VIEWS. THIS WAS HIS SUCCESS, OF A TEACHER, OF HIS FERVOR, OF HIS EARNESTNESS TOWARDS HIS STUDENTS AND OF ‘THEI&Rgrave; LOVE.
