Comparable to rehearsing musicians, students must meet each new rhythm and tempo, master it and hurry on, constantly striving for perfection. Students are here shown in their class rooms laboring over problems posed for them by their instructors, doing interesting experiments, mastering languages, or studying one of the arts— preparing for years to come that they may better meet the challenge of every day life.
