...reason for both these instruments, says Dr. Francis Reichelderfer, head of the U.S. Weather Bureau, is that science cannot now keep track of the earth's "heat balance." The incoming energy from the sun fluctuates in an unknown manner, and the amount of cloud-cover on the earth affects the percentage of solar energy that is bounced back into space. A satellite equipped with proper instruments could measure incoming and outgoing energy, thereby help weathermen to predict as much as a year ahead whether a season is apt to be warmer or colder than usual...

"In a modern democratic society," say Hollis and Jeep, "the emotionally healthy learner seeks more and should seek more for the acceptance of his peers than for the acceptance of the teacher. Teacher approval tends to weaken peer approval." Students thought up most assignments, were "encouraged to do as much or as little reading as their individual needs seemed to require."
