THE WAVE OF
THE FUTURE
By GEORGE OLLIN
. 4."'WtV
ike, my 8-going-on-9 son, in-
vited me to a review of his splendid
career in school. He brought home
the invitation handsomely decorated
with melted chocolate ice cream,
mud, and mixed finger paints.
The invitation read:
"Dear Parent,
We are supposed to invite
you to school and see our work
Friday night. It isn't much to see,
so if you have to go someplace
else, go.
Your son,
Mike"
I went, of course, and viewed
Mike's room decorated with maps of
Africa, miniature clay ridges that rep-
resented the Berkshire Hills, and an
amazing number of bright drawings
of animals unknown to me but la-
beled: Horse, Cow, Dog, and so on.
After the inspection there was that
little tete-a-tete where the teacher
looks down on both father and son
while they squirm uncomfortably in
their hard seats. She explains—or did
in this instance — that Mike, while
probably bright and normal, acted in
school as if he were utterly indifferent
to the world-shaking problems of
multiplication, the capital of New
York State, and the correct spelling
of a few significant words.
"What's the trouble?" I asked
Mike.
"The teacher don't like me," Mike
said promptly.
"Oh, I do," said Miss Murphy.
"Why don't you do your school-
work right?"
"I don't care," Mike said.
"You want to stay in Grade 3 all
your life?" I asked.
"They got to pass you. They got
to have seats for the next class,"
Mike said flatly.
I turned to Miss Murphy. "I'm
sorry. There's a block somewhere. I'll
take it up with him privately."
Mike and I walked silently home
for a while. Then I said, "You don't
want to learn to multiply and spell?"
"Nope."
"You're going to grow up and be
a man like Daddy, aren't you?"
Mike shrugged. "I guess I have
to."
"O.K. What will you do when you
are a man like Daddy and can't spell
or multiply?"
Mike grinned. "I'll do what Daddy
does."
I frowned. "What's that?"
"Hire a secretary," he said, laugh-
ing and then making a brave attempt
to shinny up a nearby beech and get
out of sight.
Atta boy, pop! You're still keeping in front of that jerk with the
flashing red light!"
