What happens
Russell Gulk, a teenage boy, is hired by the Tisdale family to tutor their daughter Mildred in algebra three afternoons a week. Back at the family table, he makes plans for the job, debating what to charge and how strictly he will discipline his pupil. His parents respond with mild amusement and teasing. The Vic and Sade series, which was heard on radio, aired this episode on June 12, 1944, with Bernardine Flynn and Bill Idelson in the lead roles.

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.
