Education Isn't Necessarily In Classroom A student achieved his full education through his experiences out in the world as well as a shel- tered classroom, but a student needed a broader education than could be obtained in a classroom. Alchemia Society went to Midwest Research Institute where they saw where many government and private environmental studies are contracted. Young Life had a pizza eating contest among the three city high schools. A couple of organi- zations even had hay rides. With the varied field trips and excursions by various groups, many of the pupils broaden their awareness of their inheritance.
