boy his grandfather told him that there was a time when all stories where printed on the pages they turn the page which was yellow and crinkly and it was awful funny to read words that stood still instead of moving the way they were supported to on a screen you know and then they turned back to the page before it had the same word on it that it had when they read it the first time gee sed Tommy

leave in the house they had a special building and all the kids went there and all the kids learnt the same things sure it they were the same age but my mother says a teacher has to be adjusted to fit the mind of each boy and girl it teachers and that each kid has to be taught differently just the same they didn't do it that way then if you doesn't like it you don't have to read the book I didn't
