This year parents will also find themselves acting as ground crews for a whole series of projectile-spewing toys. Ideal Toy Corp. is ready for the Space Age with a truck-mounted satellite launcher ($4.98) and a skysweeper ($7.98) that throws a plane's image onto a wall, then fires suction-cup projectiles at it. Gilbert's train sets have a rocket launcher car ($10.29) that shoots a missile from the tracks, and Kusan-Auburn Inc.'s six-car atomic train ($39.95) automatically unleashes two missiles while the train is in motion...
...powered organ ($12.95), on which a child can learn to play such simple tunes as Oh! Susanna, Noel and Home, Sweet Home. This year's line of autos includes Louis Marx's battery-driven car ($23.95) which can be ridden by children from i^ to six, and Ideal's clear-plastic model ($14.95), complete with electrical and differential systems, operating pistons and fan belt-130 parts in all for a parent to help assemble. For the medieval set, there is a pair of remote-control jousting knights ($15.00) that charge each other with lances, light the winner...

If greater weight were given to tutorial in awarding Honors degrees, Honors candidates would become more interested in tutorial meetings. Also, increased funds should be appropriated toward this method of education: in the Program for Harvard College, for example, some of the large appropriation for athletic endowment could be transferred to the tutorial program.
