- 282: Personal Freedom In the United States of America
- ... effective means for people to use their freedoms effectively to bring about change from the government. Freedom of speech is constantly being challenged as is evidenced in a recent court case where a Gloucester County school district censored reviews of two R-rated movies from a school newspaper. Superior Court Judge, Robert E. Francis ruled that the student's rights were violated under the state Constitution.

- 285: Albert Einstein
- ... youth Einstein showed a brilliant curiosity about nature and an ability to understand difficult mathematical concepts. At the age of 12 he taught himself Euclidian Geometry. Einstein hated the dull regimental and unimaginative spirit of school in Munich. (Albert Einstein's Early Life) His parents wisely thought to transfer him out of that environment. Although Einstein's family was Jewish, he was sent to a Catholic elementary school from 1884 to 1889. He was then enrolled at the Luitpold Gymnasium in Munich. In 1894, Hermann Einstein's business failed and the family moved to Pavia, near Milan, Italy. Einstein was left behind in Munich to allow him to finish school. Such was not to be the case, however, since he left the gymnasium after only six more months. Einstein's biographer, Philip Frank, explains that Einstein so thoroughly despised formal schooling that he devised ...

A month after his arrival Hitler entered the little county school at Fischlam bei Lambach on May 1, 1895. On June 25, 1895 Alois retired at 58 to a life of leisure and beekeeping. Now Alois could devote more of his time to disciplining Adolf, so poor little Adolf's life became a rigid order between home and school.

- 287: Are Things Equal Between The Sexes In College Sports?
- ... for female athletes, something must give in order to make these opportunities available. These things are usually men's athletics. In some instances men's sporting teams have been limited or totally cut from a school's athletic program in order to make room for more female teams. At the University of Illinois, the men's swimming and diving team was cut in order to meet the title ix equality requirements ... answer to that question is society. Everyone that pays taxes is affected. A portion of the taxes that everyone pays goes toward education. Some of the money given to schools through taxes goes toward the school's athletic program.

This late start, no doubt, disadvantaged him socially, setting him apart from the other children.

He was a good scholar, however, and became the first boy from the school to win a scholarship to Nottingham High School. It caused the family considerable hardship to allow the boy to take up this scholarship but in September 1898, three days after his thirteenth birthday Lawrence ...
