00:00 Mischief is school kids are the central characters in Teachers Are People with Goofy as the poor
00:07 hardworking teacher.
00:10 No one in the early 1950s could have dreamt that a day would dawn when school violence
00:15 would become a genuine issue in America.
00:18 Back then it was the height of absurdity.
00:21 So I hope you'll try to put yourself back into a more innocent time and place and remember
00:26 that this cartoon is all in fun.
00:29 And if the voice of the narrator sounds familiar, the person upon whose capable shoulders rest
00:33 the responsibility for their education is that unsung hero, the teacher.
00:39 That's because it belongs to Alan Reed, who later gained animation immortality as Fred
00:44 Flintstone.
01:04 Today, more than ever before, education is playing an important role in the teaching
01:25 of children.
01:26 The school has become a vital part of every community, drawing children from every walk
01:31 of life.
01:32 Off to school, George.
01:33 Eager to take advantage of its opportunities.
01:38 Emerging from their sheltered confines, sleeping easily into the habits of the student.
01:46 Coming from far and near, struggling toward an education, whetting their appetites for
01:52 knowledge, forming friendships for the future.
01:57 Childish energy lets nothing stand in its way.
02:04 In their tiny hands, they hold the future.
02:10 The person upon whose capable shoulders rest the responsibility for their education is
02:14 that unsung hero, the teacher.
02:18 He must be fair, honest, understanding, and intelligent.
02:37 He must handle every situation with the utmost dignity.
02:46 With a complete understanding of his pupils, the experienced teacher equips himself for
02:52 the classroom.
02:53 Good morning to you, good morning to you.
03:18 Good morning, dear teacher, we're happy to be here.
03:37 Good morning, dear teacher, we love our school so dear.
03:38 Roll call pupils.
03:39 Eddie.
03:40 Here.
03:41 Mike.
03:42 Here.
03:43 Tim.
03:44 Here.
03:45 Norma.
03:46 Here.
03:47 Janice.
03:48 Here.
03:49 Marjorie.
03:50 Here.
03:51 John.
03:52 Here.
03:53 Lucille.
03:54 Here.
03:55 George.
03:56 George.
03:57 Homework, children.
03:58 One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen,
03:59 fifteen, sixteen, seventeen.
04:00 Hm, who's absent?
04:01 George, desist.
04:20 A geography lesson.
04:28 Now children, we will study the effect history has played on geography.
04:33 According to today's paper, the boundaries of Thailand or Siam, but in your book is French
04:39 Indochina, whereas Persia, now called, well, Mesopotamia.
04:43 That's not far from the Af- Af- Afghanistan bordered by northern India.
04:47 That's Pakistan.
04:48 At the same time, however, er-
04:51 Have you heard the one about-
05:11 The students eagerly returned to the classroom.
05:32 Spelling time.
05:33 George, how do you spell the word cat?
05:36 Um, uh, cat.
05:41 C-A-T.
05:42 Cat.
05:43 Wrong.
05:44 Youthful minds are encouraged to develop their latent talents.
05:48 Ah, yes, the creative outlets of the arts and the crafts.
05:54 Tests and examinations fill out the day as bright little minds gather knowledge from
05:59 their teacher.
06:01 But, little hands make the time pass quickly.
06:12 Contrary to popular belief, the teacher's work is not through at the end of the school
06:16 day.
06:17 Oh, no.
06:18 There are many unfinished chores, blackboards to be cleaned, erasers dusted, and of course,
06:24 the ever-present parent-teacher relationship.
06:27 Hey, what's the matter with my kid's grammar?
06:32 So, it is to this great profession and its halls of learning that we dedicate this.
06:39 When the occasion arises, there are times when disciplinary action must be taken.
