It is an uneasy privilege then, at least sometimes, to teach my old-fashioned brand of science to these children of a new age. "What does a junior achievement group do?" "It has the purpose," I told her, "of teaching the members something about commerce and industry. They manufacture simple compositions themselves. "Well, now," I demanded, in my best classroom voice.

Most of them were impractical, of course, for a group of children to attempt, but several of them appeared quite attractive.
