By year's end, an abnormal eel who was pretty good in swimming, had average running skills, some climbing ability, and just a few flying skills, had the highest average and was valedictorian of the school. The prairie dogs refused to go to the school and fought their community's efforts to levy a tax to build a school. Their principal complaint was that the administration would not add digging and burrowing to the curriculum. Along with the gophers and groundhogs, they apprenticed their children to a badger and later formed a successful alternative school. All applicable rules, regulations, and laws extend also to Merlo Night School students and staff.
Education is opportunity made visible.
To make opportunity visible, you must discover how to put yourself in touch with useful information. By such discovery, it's more likely you will become not only a useful human being, but also a happy one. School is a rite of passage into the society of adult life. This rite must be fired with struggle and challenge, but it also must be showered with love, respect, and understanding. School must never be a roadblock to the joy and excitement of learning, or discourage your natural desire to become productive.
