Anyone with information on these or other silent titles is invited to contribute. The few titles I have located (unfortunately, without viewable films to go with them) that give indication of falling within this article’s subject matter are Good Old College Days (Terry, Aesop’s Fables, 1924), School Days (Terry, Aesop’s Fables, 1926), and School Daze (Krazy Kat (Winkler?) 9/10/27). I am actually quite surprised at not encountering at least giveaway episode titles among such juvenile-centered series as Bobby Bumps, Dinky Doodles, or the more obscure Katzenjammer Kids. The silent era again remain an inaccessible mystery for surviving cartoons on the subject, though I would not doubt that there are survivors somewhere not divulged by researching their titles alone among Terry “Aesop’s Fables”, and possibly other series as well. And so too follow our toons, in nostalgic recollection of how they learned to be funny, that demonstrate that things haven’t changed much on the road to higher learning in nearly 100 years – if you overlook the abolishment of corporal punishment, and the advent of hand-held computers and cell phones. Whether it be the alma mater of a prestigious university, the advanced training of a trade or graduate school, or the little country school house or middle school, everyone of all classes is heading back to classes.

Like it or not, the nation faces a return, after a long hiatus, to a tradition as old as the hills – face to face, classroom education.
