- THE COVER
- Here we have what is known as the laissez-faire system of instruction—or would “lazy fare” be more appropriate? Spring has sprung, and at least two young males are mentally catching tadpoles, while the young lady in the back row seems to have her mind on catching a boy.

In order to capture a let’s-get-this-over-with mood, artist Ben Prins visited Duxbury, Massachusetts, on the last day of school, when it was much too balmy for anything as strenuous as paying attention in inkwells.
