Teachers shake down truth in nutshells of a discussion on capitalism, the principle under- lying atmospheric changes, the causes and re- sults of the Civil War, the problem of the primary group, procedures in journalizing, posting, and proving, and menu planning. These kernels, when digested by the student, help him to understand himself and the culture in which he lives. They then broaden his ap- preciation to include other cultures, breed en- thusiasm for new knowledge, and suggest an ideal for which to strive. Sloppy joes, a rock chair, and a shady spot make a perfect School Day Out for Harry Brunk.

They begin the class with buenos dias, assign the translation of Wilhelm Tell, and proceed with the conjugation of porto, portas, portat. They find an idiomatic phrase, analyze the meter of “The Assyrian Came Down like a Wolf on the Fold,” explain the role of the chorus in Greek drama, and introduce the Bard. They dictate “la, la, la,” play the Brandenburg Concerti, and beat out syncopation. They discover rhythm in a sea shell, daub oils until a portrait emerges, and define “surrealism.” Yet the common aim of all these teachers is to enable students to produce and enjoy that which is beautiful. In doing this the students gain a love of the commonplace, an outlet for their own creative powers, and an understanding of human nature. “Then turn this button to rewind it.” E. G. Gehman as- sists Lydia Glick in the language laboratory.
