...what was wrong," says First Grade Teacher Ruth Barlow, since the kiddy cops handed out speeding tickets with Ribicoffan severity ("usually to the same youngsters," says Mrs. Barlow). Transgressors were tried by a "judge" sitting atop teacher's desk and wearing teacher's sweater backward as a robe. By the first graduation exercises, even kids once addicted to pedaling along at dizzy speeds were reformed enough to win coveted safety certificates. If the lessons stick with the children through the ten years or so before they can drive, the scheme promises to be a big success...

His personal agony was shared...
This is not merely another anachronistic attempt to make Jesus a regular fellow, explained the denomination's director of curriculum, the Rev. Robert Koenig of Philadelphia. The flowing robes in which Christ is conventionally pictured were used only for traveling, as a sort of combination overcoat and blanket; archaeological research has shown that workingmen on the job wore short trousers and a short tunic-like shirt.
