1:46:01
Just think, what were we only yesterday?
1:46:04
Yesterday, Dr. Humbert...
1:46:07
...you and I were little High School Jim...
1:46:09
...and we were carrying
High School Jane's schoolbooks.

1:46:12
You remember those days?
1:46:15
In point of fact, Dr. Zemph,
I am a lecturer in French literature.

1:46:21
I have not made my point quite clear.
1:46:28
I have some other details which
I would like to put to you, Dr. Humbert.

1:46:34
"She is defiant and rude.
Sighs a good deal in the class."

1:46:38
She sighs, makes the sound of....
1:46:40
"Chews gum vehemently."
All the time she is chewing this gum.

1:46:44
"Handles books gracefully."
1:46:45
That doesn't really matter.
"Voice is pleasant.

1:46:47
"Giggles rather often and is excitable."
She giggles at things.

1:46:51
"A little dreamy. Concentration is poor."
1:46:54
She looks at the book for a while
and then she gets fed up with it.

1:46:57
"Has private jokes of her own."
1:46:59
Which no one understands
so they can't enjoy them with her.

1:47:02
"She either has exceptional control
or she has no control at all."

1:47:05
We cannot decide which.
1:47:07
Added to that, just yesterday,
Dr. Humbert...

1:47:12
...she wrote a most obscene word
with the lipstick, if you please...

1:47:16
...on the health pamphlet.
1:47:19
And so, in our opinion, she is suffering
from acute repression of the libido...

1:47:25
...of the natural instincts.
1:47:29
I fail to see the significance of all this...
1:47:31
...as far as her record as a student
is concerned, Dr. Zemph.

1:47:36
We Americans...
1:47:38
...we are progressively modern.
1:47:41
We believe that it is equally important
to prepare the pupils...

1:47:47
...for the mutually satisfactory mating
and the successful child rearing.

1:47:51
That is what we believe.
1:47:53
What do you suggest?
1:47:54
I am suggesting...
1:47:56
...that Dr. Cudler, who is the district
psychologist to the Board of Education...
