And our Miss Brooks, who teaches English at Madison High School, has some very definite ideas on the subject of economy. Personally, I've always been a firm believer in economical living. As a school teacher, I've found that by budgeting my income, thinking ahead and doing without certain things right now, I can count on other things later on.

Little luxuries like food and shelter. Well, in the hands of Madison's beloved principal, Osgoode Conklin, even economy can be carried too far. I was discussing the subject with my landlady last Thursday at breakfast. So Mr. Conklin has launched another economy drive.

Drive isn't the word, Mrs. Davis. It's more of a crusade. You might not believe this, but he's rationed each teacher to one piece of chalk a day. That's ridiculous, Connie. What do you do when the chalk wears out?

I wet my finger. I was teaching Shakespearean drama yesterday afternoon, and by two o'clock I was up to my cuticle in 12th night. That's terrible. Oh, that's nothing. Today I have to stop in Mr. Conklin's office for my weekly pencil.

I only give you one pencil per week. You don't get that unless you bring in a small bag of shavings. My goodness, what the world does Mr. Conklin do with pencil shavings? I think he smokes them in his pipe.
