Thanks to the American system there has been no rationing of education. The curriculum has changed, to add gym for seniors, pre-flight and pre-induction work, and also industrial courses for girls. Everyone in school will undergo anything else the govern- ment decides to ration, as long as they have the opportunity to learn, the chance to ad- vance themselves, and the good fortune to be able to go to school in America.
