...predicament of secondary education in America is the inevitable outcome of the heedless materialism that characterized the twenties, a materialism accompanied by a expanding complex that blinded public educators to the fundamentals of education. The motives which prompted communities to erect palatial surroundings for the secondary school system were doubtless admirable, but they tended automatically toward the neglect of the standards of teaching, and they were expensive. If the first of these effects has, by its lesser concreteness, been concealed from public attention, the second has been painfully obvious. For the long term loans which made the physical improvements possible...
...thought. Whence came this white-haired intruder who braved double vengeance, so the Vagabond hoped, with his crass "Don't you think. . ." A sole invasion, perhaps. But no. There was the seedy individual who whined it down his long spectacle bestridden nose; there was the impeccable curlyhead, doubtless a Freshman, who wheedled; there was the lumpy cherub who peeped.

Actual play production, as a course, is doubtless out of the question, but a study of it theoretically and historically, with model stages, is well within the range of possibility, and there seems to be no very potent reason why it should not be added either to the department of Education or to that of Fine Arts, since its necessary laboratory characteristics put it out of the range of English...
