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.


Oh, Pat! Look at your camera for an example of sneaky metrics! Time was when focal lengths were measured in inches, but no more. Today, the U.S. military uses metrics exclusively. Check your milk and beer and whiskey and soda containers -- the contents are measured in both metric and U.S. for volume and weight, just for the convenience of customers, but the manufacturers are keyed to the metrics. In fact, the entire world, except for some Americans, accepted the metric system long ago. P.S.: Family recipes carried over generations don't count.

Here's my grandpa's school photo (late 70s - that's 1870s!), near Manchester, UK. He's the second row fellow with his hand tucked into his jacket. His Dad was a blacksmith, but Albert was highly motivated to advance himself, one of the early beneficiaries of the Elementary Education Act of 1870 which ushered in state education. He later went to night school and finally qualified as a millwright. He also went to dance classes, which strikes me as a bit unusual.

With his brother, who handled sales, he took over his Dad's business and built it to the point that by WWl they had over 50 employees. Under government direction, he produced gun barrels (artillery, tank) during the war (repeated in WWll).

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!

I remember using brown paper grocery bags in elementary school and competing to see who could decorate them the nicest. One year I went to the corner store and asked if I could help out so that I could have some of the waxy white butcher paper to cover my books with then using crayons I made all my covers look like stain glass and only wrote the subjects on the edge...Love #3 our local library when I was growing up had couches and real nice leather reading chairs tucked in corners and a real soft cushy window seat....
