The

Director

walked

slowly

down

the

long

line

of

cots

.

Rosy

and

relaxed

with

sleep

,

eighty

little

boys

and

girls

lay

softly

breathing

.

There

was

a

whisper

under

every

pillow

.

The

D

halted

and

,

bending

over

one

of

the

little

beds

listened

attentively

you

say

?

Let

’

s

have

it

repeated

a

little

louder

by

the

trumpet

.

"

At

the

end

of

the

room

a

loud

speaker

projected

from

the

wall

.

The

Director

walked

up

to

it

and

pressed

a

switch

a

of

a

sentence

Oh

no

,

I

to

with

still

worse

Besides

they

black

,

which

is

such

a

beastly

colour

I

so

glad

There

was

a

pause

;

then

the

voice

began

again

harder

than

we

frightfully

The

Director

pushed

back

the

switch

.

The

voice

was

silent

.

Only

its

thin

ghost

continued

to

mutter

from

beneath

the

eighty

pillows

forty

times

After

which

on

lesson

Roses

and

electric

shocks

,

the

khaki

of

Deltas

and

a

whiff

of

asaf

?

tida

–

wedded

indissolubly

before

the

child

can

speak

.

But

wordless

conditioning

is

crude

and

wholesale

;

cannot

bring

home

the

finer

distinctions

,

cannot

inculcate

the

more

complex

courses

of

behaviour

.

For

that

there

must

be

words

,

but

words

without

reason

.

In

brief

,

hypnopædia

.

"

The

greatest

moralizing

and

socializing

force

of

all

time
