Examples of their little hobbies...
:44:02
...butterflies, home
weaving and so on.
:44:04
We call it 'sharing'.
:44:12
Ladies and gentlemen, there're
100,000 schools like this...
:44:16
...from coast to coast.
:44:17
Every year whole forests are
cut down for paper...
:44:20
...for these grotesque daubs.
:44:22
And we coo over them as though
they were Van Goghs...
:44:25
...and Rembrandts.
:44:27
I'm afraid...
:44:28
...Mr. Avery hasn't faith in the
unspoiled instincts of childhood.
:44:33
Faith?
:44:34
Dear Lady.
:44:35
Childhood is a congenital disease
to be cured by education.
:44:51
I see my point-of-view is
now to may of you.
:44:53
But ask yourselves.
:44:55
How do we describe the unfortunate
individual who carries his...
:44:59
...'unspoiled, childhood
instincts' into adult life?
:45:03
We say he's arrested.
:45:06
We call him a moron.
:45:07
Well!
:45:08
I'm not sure that I like my daughter
Louise thought of that way.
:45:13
And by her teacher!
:45:15
Your Louise is a charming
little creature.
:45:17
But we must try to examine
the problem without prejudice.
:45:21
Your daughter, at her present
stage of development...
:45:24
...is roughly on an intellectual
par with the African gorilla.
:45:31
Isn't it getting hot here?
:45:40
Excuse me, sir.
:45:42
She's the President of the PTA.
:45:44
Really?
:45:49
What, after all, from the Stone
Age to the present day...
:45:53
...has been the greatest
invention of mankind?
:45:55
Has anyone a match?
:45:58
Thank you.
