I am a student of the eleventh class and have by now studied under several teachers. I liked them for their knowledge, but I can never forget one particular teacher. He is my ideal in my -life. It was he who made me punctual and regular and filled me with a keen sense of duty and patriotism.

The said teacher was Mr. Har Dayal, my teacher of English, in the Govt. School. He had a perfect command over the subject. Words flowed from his lips like a gentle flow of water from a rivulet over a slope. There was nothing but sweetness in his speech. He was also an expert in the art of teaching. He made the most difficult topic easy. If he took up grammar, he made the lesson so interesting that we grasped it at once.
Mr. Har Dayal had a good personality. He was always well-dressed. This filled the heart of his pupils with desire to appear in their best. That was why they looked neat and smart and had in them that self-confidence which helped them achieve success in society.
