lecture on Saturdays at no extra pay.
Stockard agreed.
Word spread through the Glenridge
corridors as rapidly as if the school had
announced that Ansley had personally
launched a rocket to the moon. His
students raced home that afternoon
carrying mimeographed notes for their
parents' reaction.
Enthusiastic responses flowed in to
Ansley and Stockard. "I'm all for it,"
wrote Marilyn Pierson's father, "and I'd
like to request that homework and
reading assignments be included. It may
help combat TV."
Ansley and Stockard agreed that only
C students or better could qualify as
Saturday scholars since they intended
to offer courses not otherwise available
to ninth graders.
Ansley chose logic and the history of
philosophy, which he says "open the
avenues of abstract thought that other
ninth-grade subjects leave closed."
Logic was offered for three hours
Saturday mornings and philosophy for
three hours during afternoons.
The Saturday performances were a
smash success. Seventeen boys and girls
attended logic lectures and 26 enrolled
in philosophy. Like the star of a long
run Broadway musical, Ansley played
the 15-week season to standing-room-only
audiences. Observing their TEE
manners, students rose to attention
when he entered or left the classroom.
Ansley's students chatted endlessly
about the' "fallacy of hasty generaliza
tion,'' probed Plato and Spinoza, and
digested the "Story of Philosophy."
"Don't think it's over their heads,"
cautioned Ansley. "They carry on very
intelligent conversations among them
selves and with me." All 43 students

completed the courses, averaging only
one absence every three Saturdays.
And many of central Florida's leading
citizens spent their Saturdays visiting
the classes.
Logic student Dan Durwood com
mented, "I'm learning a new way to
think it's mental exercise. It helps me
with my homework."
Mrs. Frank Temple pointed out that
schoolwork always came easy to her
honor-student daughter, Nancy, who's
among the top 1 percent of Florida's
ninth graders. "This is the first time
that her studies have really kept her
busy," her mother added.
Late last Spring, a group of eighth
graders approached Ansley. "We'd like
to pick up where the ninth grade leaves
off," the spokesman proposed, "and
we'd like to start this Spring."
Ansley again responded. He joined
Stockard in another strategy briefing,
and they compiled a seven-page recom
mendation for a Summer program and
a renewal of Fall Saturday classes. The
school board endorsed both.
'This experiment has led me to the
conclusion that our young people can
be directed to great scholastic achieve
ment,' Ansley says, "that they can car
ry the responsibility of our times, and
that given the opportunity American
boys and girls can be as good students
as any in the world or better.
"This program has taken most of my
free time, but it has given me a satis
faction and pride in my students. And
most of all, teaching for me has found
new rewards."
The Summer program functioned on
a daily basis and, during the Fall and
Winter, Ansley has continued his new
interpretation of American education
for Saturday's children.
