May be rented only for educational purposes where no admission is charged Professor Paul Ward, a science teacher, strides into the school grounds just in time to see a snowball crash through a window. The snowball was thrown by Peter Trlm- tull, son of the town's richest man. When the professor asks Peter if his father will tske the cost of repairing the window out cf his allowance, Peter confidently answers, "No." That afternoon Peter disrupts the science class with practical jokes. Profes- sor Ward calls him to the platform to an- swer questions and is pleased and surprised by his grasp of refrigeration, the subject of the day's lesson. One day while Pro- fessor Ward is working in his cellar lab- oratory on an iceless icebox . . . his daughter descends in a rage, demanding to know why her father has taken Peter Trimbull off the hockey team. She asks if he realizes that he is punishing the whole school for one boy. The professor replies that perhaps now the school will think of a way to punish Peter. The Ward's house- keeper, who is standing nearby, suggests that perhaps punishment is not what Peter needs. She thinks he needs a hobby, or the friendship of an older person. Some- time later the professor brings Peter into his laboratory to help him with his inven- tion. "I have been thinking," he remarks, "here is a brilliant science student. Why waste his time on useless homework? Why not interest him in my iceless icebox?" The two shake hands over plans to col- laborate. One day when Peter is working alone in the laboratory, Peter Ellis, from the town's hardware store, calls to deliver a part for the icebox. Since the Professor has made Peter promise never to let any- one see the invention, he asks Ellis to wait upstairs while he tries the part. But the part doesn't fit and Peter asks Ellis for help. Ellis takes this opportunity to look over the professor's invention. Conscience- stricken, Peter begs Ellis not to let any- one know he has seen it, and Ellis promises that he will not. When the professor ar- rives soon after, he finds Ellis' lighted cigarette on the table, Peter, panic- stricken, tells the professor he is learn- ing to smoke and denies that Ellis was in the laboratory. With the invention suc- cessfully completed, the professor files a patent. A v,-eek later he learns that the Ellis Brothers have filed a patent for the same invention a M'eek before him. The professor is bewildered, and turns to Peter who is frightened and guilty. Slowly the professor recalls the lighted cigarette. Peter faced with the accusation, confesses. The professor reproaches him angrily. If Peter had told the truth the patent could have been filed earlier. Overcome with re- morse, Peter cannot even look at his friend sh-c-adult Guide 172 State ethics Fury; excerpt (governor sequence).
