eight The super and the principal Were in an awful jam- Some darling child had asked to change The government of them. Call in the help, the super cried, We'll put it to them all: At B a. m. let them arrive And have them hit the ball. The minions- cowered in cell block 8, 'The meeting was begun: Before the very sun had risen, And all came? All but one. The world is so full of isms and things Said the principal hlandly, rising, Let's draft a few for our lazy crew, The results might be surprising. The little darlings! I love them all, They are all so sweet-so true! Let's give them more languages and themes, And plays and parties, too. 'l'hey're all in the fog but the demerit squad, Let's pzive 'em more light and air: Give 'em freedom to think and sling more ink And matinees less' rare. Well, boys could play like everything, If they only had new togs: I doubt the girls should do more than cheer, Or the games will go to the dogs. If they only knew their elements. And laws and formulas There'd be some hope that they'd turn out As well as their pas and mas I think technocracy's the clue- But would they follow it? Would you? I'd just collect their books and cash. 'N throw 'em all out-would that be too rash? Collect the fines on the books, you mean? We arc still in arrears down stairs: l'd give 'em some Latin verbs to learn, Then listen to 'em swear. A diet of worms and facts and dates, Should fill their sriddy little pates: Some thoughts on war and slaves and blood Would settle their silly fates. Give 'em labor-not capital, Give 'em crime and they'll get their men: And throw in a current event or so To anchor the wandering hen. Let 'em play ball and tennis and skate And tap their toes a lot: And dance and swim and itiggle and grin And they won't feel so hot. The buzz saw's good-or pencilsaar wood. Or paint-or even glue: I use them all most every day On my obstreperous crew. Why not try drama and pantomime, And flirting with the dears 7 The practice would be Kood for them, And lighten these dreary years. I think more work would turn the trick, Let 'em write a book or two? Maybe we could get them all real jobs And shake the whole T crew. Make 'em all learn to say a piece, And unpaint their gaudy nails: And make 'em write more copy books- That treatment never fails. Make 'em tootle or scrape or bang, lt's rhythm their souls demand: Buy 'em instruments and I'll guarantee They'll improve to beat thc band. Sewing would quiet the little dears, If I could inspect their suits: Sinfring, I hope, would improve their ears, And cooking would feed thc brutes. The high command o'er the people's CHILD, Ended the scene of woe- Let ,us try more tests and questionnaires, And discussions to and fro.
