Warner While teaching at the BYU Elementary Laboratory School, I ran a little experiment which, even though started as a joke, had some results that were rather startling, and opened the eyes of some of us as to what was really happening to our children. A display was made and placed in one corner of the classroom. Within the display were several common objects one, a buttonhook; two, a coal scuttle; three, a fire shovel; and four, a lid lifter used to lift the lid from a kitchen range. Over the exhibit were these words on a rather colorless poster WHAT ARE THESE?
