It's free and it's a great money saver

completely she fills the receptacles, the better a teacher she is. The more
meekly the receptacles permit themselves to be filled, the better students
they are.

the depositories and the teacher is the depositor.

to encourage students to act on the
knowledge, values, and social relations they
acquire by being responsive to the deepest
and most important problems of our times.
