Along the desperate streets of the Los Angeles inner-city community of Compton, Mr. Hubbard’s Study Technology resulted in equally impressive miracles: the equivalent achievement of a full academic year in but 20 to 40 hours of part-time study, and this among street gang members and other culturally disadvantaged pupils.
“In our hands lies the future of the world,” Mr. Hubbard wrote, “for as we train our children we shape in them the pattern of things to come.” Tragically, that pattern of things to come is all too often a grim scenario wherein whole communities of children will grow up without any real conception of the printed page or the power of words. But taking into account what L. Ron Hubbard has left us, there truly is hope. In addition to the above mentioned works for children, Mr. Hubbard further ensured that his educational breakthroughs are made available to young people in his How to Use a Dictionary Picture Book for Children and his Grammar and Communication for Children. And make no mistake about it, those works are making a difference.
