To the Editor: Your front-page article in Friday's The Dartmouth ("Candidates promote own education agendas") adopted the same dualistic, off-target rhetoric about education and the educational system as the presidential candidates have practiced.

Friends, I wish to occupy the opposite ground, and take a moment to laud the greatest invention since six-string guitars.
