Taxpayers like to keep the tax rate as low as possible. In their
interest in doing this, is it possible that they might interfere
with your getting a good education in favorable surroundings?
Explain. Who are the taxpayers?

We often hear of "self-made men." What does it mean? Can a man be
entirely "self-made"?

Does a child become more or less dependent upon others as he grows
older? Explain your answer.

Show that as a person becomes more "self-dependent" other people
become more dependent upon him; for example, in the home, and in
school.

Watch the newspapers for items illustrating interdependence, or
conflicts due to it.
