P : HOW .ft
Addressing a group.. of high
school. teachers .the other night,
1 was recalling how I entered"`
the . , : uh _a, teaching game,
business, vocation, profession or
= what hat .you tallit de-
pendson who you ° are purely
by accident,
I had brought ;any [amily to
this town one Sunday to have a
look atthe sights, as we hadn't
been here before. •
On . the way out of town, we
drove around the side streets to,
admire the fine homes.
"That's odd,"` '`I: said to my
wife. "There's a big,new ' facto-
ry smack in the middle of the
14
residential - section. ' They . don't
usuallyallow that"
Then I ;saw the roadblock, out
in front of the sprawling, one -
storey factory. There was ' ` a
%.: grim gent beside it, well-dressed
but with a sort of wild glint in
0. his eye. He flagged, me down; •
I stopped. He came over to
the car. "Can you see out of at
least one eye?",' he. queried, .I..
assured him that I had 40-40 vi-
sion, or something of the sort.I
thought it ' was some kind of
kooky; ; plain -c lot he s -police
check, the ' kind you run into -
when.; you'v°e left your driving
license. in your other pants..
"'Ever been to a university?",
he shot at me. I said I'd been to
Oxford. I remember spending ,'a
whole weekend there during the
war. waiting for a Land Arany
girl who never did show'' up.
He `brightened considerably.
"Have you any contagious dis
easesr, was the next question.
"Like leprosy?" I. told him I
was as sound as: any man in my
condition. could ,be
Beaming now, ,the went on
with the questionnaire. "And
you don't drink, smoke, play the
horses orchase women. Right?"
I 'started •to point out that I
did;. all of these whenever possi-
ble, but not all the time. and not

all at once, But he wasn't listen
ing. He had the car' door open
and me by. 'the arm, and was
hustling me toward that big,
brick. factory. that looked more
like. a ' prison every second.. ;I:
thought I was under ' arrest. ' •
When we got inside, he shoved
me into a -chair, and I waited;
fearfully, for the bright light in
the face, and the rubber hose.•
But he fooled me. He stuck a
confession under my nose and
snarled. "Sign there." I signed,
. wondering what had. become of
Magna •Carta, Habeas Corpus
and my family, out in the car.
It was not until he . offered to
show* me . the gymnasium and
the cafeteria that I realized the
factory was a hid school, and
thatT had just experienced the'
hard sell on teachers.
However, it wasn't much of a
switch' for me. I know that the
jump into teaching, frombig in-
dustrialist, shoe salesman or
short-order'. cook ' has. been a
traumatic experience for some
people You can see•` them any
