A reminder that sometimes the ability to read (and write!) a foreign language is a matter of life or death, especially if you are traveling through countries experiencing rebellion or banditry. Not everybody speaks English!
Read it or die !
Reading and writing sometimes demands multi-lingual capabilities

After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the United States aircraft industry faced a dramatic shortage of aluminum for aircraft production. American school children nationwide added tin can collection to their reading, writing and arithmetic. By early 1942 they were delivering tons of critically needed raw materials. These kids in Allentown, Pennsylvania proudly posed with part of their continuing collections, with little Dorothea Miller the champion with 9,935 cans! That's valid patriotism!

Anyone remember covering your text books? If you could find collegiate ones you proudly showed them off - very competitive. And they don't build libraries like they used to...

I just went to open my refrigerator and this magnet caught my eye and I thought it would work for arithmetic.

I remember when we had to learn metric "because the whole world is going metric".....ummm it didn't happen and I still have trouble with metric conversions.

Sometime ago, someone tried to "preserve" it by wrapping it in

that appears to be failing now, as well...
