What happens
Miss Brooks, the English teacher at Madison High School, finds herself in trouble after visitors day, when foreign educators were rude and were kicked out of the school by Mr. Boynton and Miss Brooks. Principal Osgood Conklin orders her to write a special editorial praising Mr. Henry Newton, a member of the National Board of Education who is visiting. Word of the incident reaches Newton, and Miss Brooks and her colleagues fear for their jobs as the visiting delegates prepare to lodge a formal complaint. Walter Denton and Mr. Conklin also face the consequences.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
