RESPECT, TRUST, COMMITMENT. These are the cornerstones of a dedicated relationship between a teacher and a student. For a passionate student yearning to learn and understand the essence of a subject, they must demonstrate these traits before a teacher will take them under their wing. In this case, the teacher was Thomas Troward of Cornwall England and the student was Genevieve Behrend.
Genevieve Behrend was the only personal student of New Thought ("Mental Science") writer Thomas Troward. She established The School of the Builders in New York City and ran it until 1925.
