What you’re looking at
This page contains several brief satirical jokes typical of *Life* magazine's humor section, plus advertisements. **"The New Pedagogy"** mocks modern education by showing a child has learned only from film reels rather than traditional instruction—a jab at emerging film-based teaching methods. **"And the Cook is a Bear"** is a family joke where each member is humorously called an animal (mother's a "dear," baby's a "lamb," father's a "goat," boy's a "kid"). The joke plays on how these animal names double as family terms. **"Foolish Question"** presents a typical joke format: someone asks if a poor man would love being rich, and receives a sarcastic response suggesting only a foolish person would ask such an obvious question. The page is otherwise dominated by **advertisements** for Egyptian Deities cigarettes, Hotel Biltmore, Hires Champale (a non-alcoholic beverage), Wilson Whiskey, and foot-ease products—reflecting early 20th-century consumer goods marketed to middle-class readers.
