That's what we need. Schools.
With pointers, chalk, blackbOards,
erasers and apples for the teacher.
And time out for spitballs to ease
the strain.
School days, school days,
Dear old raise the pool days;
Income and outgo and overhead
Any old color as long as it's red;
You were my tutor, more or
less,
You taught me to add, subtract

Taxpayers need instructions. And
for the first time, the accountants
need 'em.
Schools will prove if our education
al system is any good. If it can
teach people to fill out those new tax
blanks it's wonderful. If it gets
them by the first page it's still won
derful.
Yoo hoo, teacher.
| What do you want? Jl.
I want to know if we are getting
anywhere?
That's funny, I was just going to
ask you the same question.
What page are we on?
We have left pages and are now

What's the score?
Let's work it out together. I just
kicked field goal from my own So

Was that for this year or last
years double talk?
It's little of each.
/ should have quit when I was
even.
Hey, teacher!
Yes, yes.
Please, may / leave the room?
What for?
I'm dizzy.
That puts you in higher bracket.
Keep quiet and try to concentrate.
I concentrated last year and had
to pay concentration tax.

nice cap and gown, straitjacket,
ball, chain and time of for good
behavior. Also certificate proving
you are still in a hole. Then a di-
pl0ma with the almonds inside, and
the right to stand on your head if
you feel better that way. After which
you plant the class ivy in the back
ground around Section 10, Para
graph %, where the shade from the
bughouse will protect it.
(Note: We prefer an outdoor
school. With playground attached.
