How Well Do We Listen?, or, Do We Want to Like the World through Sound?

This is the Learning to Like the World class for youngsters 5-12. Barbara Allen & Robert Murphy illustrate these sentences by Chairman of Education, Ellen Reiss: "Each of the senses is a means for us to make a one of those biggest of opposites: our self and world….There are the sounds of people talking, laughing. There are the sounds of birds, footsteps, the gentle rattle of someone’s keys. To like the world, feel and know it accurately, is what we have our senses for."
