The citys school system needed a new school building and teachers but did not have the money to pay for this m
16、ultimillion-dollar project. City officials solved the problem in a unique way. They decided to use the many scientific and cultural institutions in the city as the classrooms. Experts who worked in the various institutions would be the teachers. Among these institutions were such prestigious names a
17、s the Franklin Institute, with its science museum, workshops, and classes; the Free Library, containing nearly a million volumes; the Academy of Natural Sciences, Fels Planetarium, and the Rodin Museum. The experiment in education, known as the Parkway Program, began in February 1969. John Bremer, a
18、n Englishman and education innovator, planned the program and became its director. The Program has grown in size from 142 to 500 high school students and is so popular that thousands of applicants are denied places each year. The Program gives a freedom to high school education never known before. T
19、o supplement basic courses required for a diploma-languages, history science -students may choose from more than a hundred other courses. Any subject will be offered if an instructor can be found. Every group of 15 boys and girls belongs to a “tutorial group”, led by a teacher and one assistant. Stu
20、dents in the Program say that school is no longer a place but an interesting activity. About 100 institutions in Philadelphia - public, private, commercial-help the Program. During any one week students may be found in such diverse places as a bakery, a church or the municipal gas plant. Such places
21、 merely provide space for classrooms. Other institutions such as the University of Pennsylvania or the Temple University Medical School allow the Programs own faculty to teach in their laboratories or other facilities. Other establishments provide both classroom space and instruction. One pharmaceut
22、ical-manufacturing company, for example, conducts a chemistry course. In addition to their studies, students are encouraged to take part-time jobs. “The life of the city is our curriculum,” says Director Bremer. “Life and learning are all part of the same process.” Learning is excitement in this exp
23、erimental program but it is not meant for every child. The student must be able to handle the freedom and self-discipline that the Program demands for academic success.1.

A Timeless Letter of Comfort In October 1800 John Todd was born in Rutland, Vermont. Soon afterward his parents moved to Killingworth,
27、Connecticut. When John was six, both his parents died. A kind-hearted aunt in North Killingworth agreed to take John and give him a home. He was brought up by her and lived in her home until he left to study for the ministry. His aunt took seriously ill and feared she was about to die. In great dist
28、ress she wrote John Todd a letter in which she asked him to tell her what death would be like.Here is the letter he sent in reply: It is now thirty-five years since I, as a little boy of six, was left quite alone in the world.

30、inging tight to James, I rode off to my new home.

31、oods youll see her candle shining in the window.” Presently we did ride out into the clearing, and there, sure enough, was your candle.
