SCHOOLS OF THOUGHT
THE NEW PROMPTER
Animals Set Pace
With Own School
Once upon a time, the animals decided they must do
something heroic to meet the problems of “a new world.” So
they organized a school. They adopted an activity curriculum
consisting of running, climbing, swimming, and flying. To
make it easier to administer the curriculum, all the animals
took all the subjects.
The duck was excellent in swimming, in fact better than
his instructor; but he made only passing grades in flying
and was very poor in running. Since he was slow in running,
he had to stay after school and also drop swimming in order
to practice running. This was kept up until his web feet were
badly worn and he was only average in swimming. But aver
age was acceptable in school, so nobody worried about that
except the duck.
The rabbit started at the top of the class in running, but
had a nervous breakdown because of so much make-up work
in swimming.

The squirrel was excellent in climbing until he developed
frustration in the flying class where his teacher made him
start from the ground instead of from the treetop down^ He
also developed “charlie horses” from over-exertion and then
got C in climbing and D in running.
The eagle was a problem child and was disciplined severe-
ly. In the climbing class he beat all the others to the top of
the tree, but insisted on using his own way to get there.
At the end of the year, an abnormal eel that could swim
