Fire?
:46:07
The wheel?
:46:09
The Safety Pin?
:46:11
The hydrogen Bomb?
:46:14
No, Ladies and gentlemen,...
the alphabet.
:46:17
And persons like
myself are required...
:46:20
...to teach these bewildered kids...
:46:22
...to read by a system of
'word recognition'...
:46:24
...as though our language were
a collection of ideograms.
:46:29
And it amazes us that our kids
can't even read comics.
:46:32
Some of us have been waiting
to hear this kind of talk.
:46:37
He's telling us we ought to
get back to the old three R's.

:47:07
If the republic is to survive...
:47:10
...we must again teach the old
virtues of hard work,...
:47:13
...and self-discipline
and a sense of duty.
:47:17
I tell you we're
committing hara-kiri...
:47:21
...every day, right here in
this class-room.
:47:24
Mister.
:47:25
That young man ought to be
the Principal of this school.
:47:39
I just can't figure it out.
:47:40
Laporte and I sat up half
the night talking about it.
:47:45
What did Bob think?
:47:46
He asked me if I didn't think
Ed was acting a little arrogant.
:47:50
I...
:47:51
...said 'sure, but you've to make
allowances. He's been sick'.
:47:55
You're a fine friend. Talking to
his boss behind his back.
:47:58
But Lou, haven't you noticed
anything lately like...
