March, 1933 — Leaving all formal subjects out of consideration, he should learn how to:
Swim,
Handle firearms,
Speak in public,
Cook,
Typewrite,
Ride a horse,
Drive a car,
Dance,
Drink, and
Speak at least one foreign language well
The list does not end there. There are several dozen mental and physical skills that I should like him to acquire. He will acquire some of them in the mere course of growing up; he will acquire some of them more painfully, as the result of adult pressure; there are others that he will avoid; and he will eventually be punished for their omission with not a little discomfort and social misery. Ordinary education, even high-priced education, will not guarantee him the essential skills, and some of them are better learned after “education” is over. It is up to me to set about making a list of those skills, it is up to me to see to it that he gets them, because they are skills of hand, eye, ear, or brain which will enlarge, deepen, and ripen him as a human being.
