139. Margie even wrote about it that night in her diary.
140. On the page headed May 17, 2157, she wrote,
141. тАЬToday Tommy found a real book!тАЭ
142. It was a very old book.
143. MargieтАЩs grandfather once said that when he was a little boy
144. his grandfather told him that there was a time
145. when all stories were printed on paper.
146. They turned the pages,
147. which were yellow and crinkly,
148. and it was awfully funny to read words
149. that stood still instead of moving
150. the way they were supposed to тАФ
151. on a screen, you know.
152. And then, when they turned back to the page before,
153. it had the same words on it that it had had when they read it the first time.
154. тАЬGee,тАЭ said Tommy, тАЬwhat a waste.
155. When youтАЩre through with the book, you just throw it away, I guess.
156. Our television screen must have had a million books on it
157. and itтАЩs good for plenty more.
158. I wouldnтАЩt throw it away.тАЭ
159. тАЬSame with mine,тАЭ said Margie.
160. She was eleven and hadnтАЩt seen as many telebooks as Tommy had.
161. He was thirteen.
162. She said, тАЬWhere did you find it?тАЭ
163. тАЬIn my house.тАЭ
164. He pointed without looking, because he was busy reading.
165. тАЬIn the attic.тАЭ
166. тАЬWhatтАЩs it about?тАЭ
167. тАЬSchool.тАЭ
168. Margie was scornful.
169. тАЬSchool? WhatтАЩs there to write about school?
170. I hate school.тАЭ
171. Margie always hated school,
172. but now she hated it more than ever.
173. The mechanical teacher had been giving her test after test
174. in geography and she had been doing worse and worse
175. until her mother had shaken her head sorrowfully
176. and sent for the County Inspector.
177. He was a round little man
178. with a red face and a whole box of tools
179. with dials and wires.
180. He smiled at Margie
181. and gave her an apple.
182. Then he took the teacher apart.
183. Margie had hoped he wouldnтАЩt know how to put it together again,
184. but he knew how all right,
185. and, after an hour or so,
186. there it was again,
187. large and black and ugly,
188. with a big screen on which all the lessons were shown
189. and the questions were asked.
190. That wasnтАЩt so bad.
191. The part Margie hated most was the slot
192. where she had to put homework and test papers.
193. She always had to write them out in a punch code
194. they made her learn when she was six years old,
195. and the mechanical teacher calculated the marks in no time.
196. The Inspector had smiled after he was finished
197. and patted MargieтАЩs head.
198. He said to her mother,
199. тАЬItтАЩs not the little girlтАЩs fault, Mrs. Jones.
200. I think the geography sector was geared a little too quick.
201. IтАЩve slowed it up to an average ten-year level.
202. Actually, the overall pattern of her progress
203. is quite satisfactory.тАЭ
204. And he patted MargieтАЩs head again.
205. Margie was disappointed.
206. She had been hoping they would take the teacher away altogether.
207. They had once taken TommyтАЩs teacher away
208. for nearly a month
209. because the history sector had blanked out completely.
210. So she said to Tommy, тАЬWhy would anyone write about school?тАЭ
211. Tommy looked at her with very superior eyes.
212. тАЬBecause itтАЩs not our kind of school, stupid.
213. This is the old kind of school
214. that they had hundreds and hundreds of years ago.тАЭ
215. He added loftily,
216. pronouncing the word carefully,
217. тАЬCenturies ago.тАЭ
218. Margie was hurt.
219. тАЬWell, I donтАЩt know what kind of school they had all that time ago.тАЭ
220. She read the book over his shoulder for a while,
221. then said, тАЬAnyway, they had a teacher.тАЭ
222. тАЬSure they had a teacher,
223. but it wasnтАЩt a regular teacher.
224. It was a man.тАЭ
225. тАЬA man? How could a man be a teacher?тАЭ
226. тАЬWell, he just told the boys and girls things and gave them homework and asked them questions.тАЭ
227. тАЬA man isnтАЩt smart enough.тАЭ
228. тАЬSure he is. My father knows as much as my teacher.тАЭ
229. тАЬHe canтАЩt be. A man canтАЩt know as much as a teacher.тАЭ
230. тАЬHe knows almost as much, I betcha.тАЭ
231. Margie wasnтАЩt prepared to dispute that.
232. She said, тАЬI wouldnтАЩt want a strange man in my house to teach me.тАЭ
233. Tommy screamed with laughter.
234. тАЬYou donтАЩt know much, Margie.
235. The teachers didnтАЩt live in the house.
236. They had a special building and all the kids went there.тАЭ
237. тАЬAnd all the kids learned the same thing?тАЭ
238. тАЬSure, if they were the same age.тАЭ
239. тАЬBut my mother says a teacher has to be adjusted to fit the mind of each boy and girl it teaches

241. тАЬJust the same they didnтАЩt do it that way then.
