As an English teacher (and later principal) at Omaha's Technical High School, he developed a three-level English curriculum, forerunner of his four-track system. Long before going to Washington in 1947, he had hammered out a tough-minded notion of priorities: "Out of the unbelievable range and variety of human activities and experiences, only a limited number of basic ones can be selected...
