^
child
x
Remark: The left top part originaly were two crossed lines: x
to represent the idea of crossing or acting in turn.
The signs stands then originaly for "making a child imitate".
The complete left part is a kanji of its own and stands
for "filial piety".
So there are several conflicting derivations: old man + child,
imitate + child, filial piety. The right part seems to be
a hand with a stick, the usual way to reinforce mnemonics.
Compounds:
KYOUshitsu - classroom
KYOUiku - education
KYOUkai - church
KYOUou, KYOUkou - pope
KYOUin - teacher; faculty

I got the following request (translated from German):
> Yesterday peeking through an old issue of Asahi Shimbun I found
> in the section "letters to the editor" a kanji I can't find, which
> might signify the profession of the writers:
> Left, upper quadrant: A form similar to radical 125, only the cross
> the understroke and the oblique downstroke (like in the kanji for
> miyako (capital city). Left, lower quadrant: radical 39,
> rigth half: radical 34.
Well, I asked the writer for an ascii graphics which then allowed me to
identify the sign :-)
Greetings to Harald
P.S: Depending whether the above mentioned writers were KYOUin or KYOUou
they were either teachers or popes...
