Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Carter H. Harrison Technical High School was a high school in South Lawndale, Chicago, Illinois. It was a part of Chicago Public Schools (CPS).
It opened in 1912 and was named after Chicago mayor Carter H. Harrison; the school's building was completed in 1914.Starting from 1962 until the opening of Benito Juarez,  Harrison had a branch school, Froebel, which served only ninth grade and drew students from the boundaries of Cooper Upper Grade Center and Pickard.  Students from Froebel moved onto the main campus for grades 10 to 12. They had briefly experimented with a sophomore year before the school was closed. 
In the 1960s gangs in the area began to adopt a racial identity, and the Mexican student population at the main campus, while still small relative to the overall population, was increasing; at the time racial tension between black and Mexican students increased. In 1972 most of the students at Froebel were of Mexican origin and 75% of the students were Spanish-speaking. During March 1972 protests from the Mexican-American community demanding better conditions from CPS, 45% of the students at Froebel did not attend.The high school closed in 1983. Its building now houses the Maria Saucedo Scholastic Academy.
