Visit by transcription to the University of Wisconsin Summer Laboratory School located at the Washington School in Madison for a tour of a modern education facility and education methods. The tour shares information on the purpose and function of the summer laboratory school, in its eleventh summer, as a demonstration school. Aline Hazard then tours the school with a visit to the first graders learning how to type and then to the third graders investigating the housing shortage in Madison including one student's account of living in the Tent Colony and stories of their visit to the trailer camp for University students and veterans. The tour continues with fifth graders studying Mexico and Central America, and then to the sixth grade and their social studies lessons. The tour ends with a glimpse of the Laboratory School's fiesta celebration.
