Summary

Pathe synopsis: Learning is almost child’s play at Barnham Village School in Sussex where the imaginative schoolmaster, Mr HS Hooton, has devised a number of projects to stimulate the interest of his pupils. Roads and rivers become mathematical problems, the windmill is a test for the art students, and the local churchyard furnishes interesting information for the chronicle of village life which the scholars add to day by day.
