What A Depressing Idea!

A bored high school student carves his name into his desk. He's sent to the principal's office. Instead of berating him, the principal discusses the fact that the fellow and his classmates are growing up, but unevenly; physical growth is outstripping the maturing of their self-control, imperiling their futures as useful drones of the hive society. I mean adults.

Like many of the Coronet films, this was meant to be shown in classrooms when we had learned everything useful, and Anthony Trollope too. It has some truth in it: the fact is our emotional growth may outstrip our physical growth or lag far behind. But the cheerful, simplistic ideas offered here are insulting.
