Suppose you're a high-school girl and you're not only a member of a
large and unique family but your father is, in fact, one of the great
pioneers of industrial efficiency. Then suppose he decides, for no
apparent reason, to apply his unorthodox methods to you and to the
rest of your big family. The results are terribly embarrassing, funny,
and—it must be admitted—extremely effective! To Anne, however, the chief
effect seems to be that of making them seem ridiculous to everyone
else at school—especially to the boys! Dad pushes ahead with better
organization for his large and delightful family. He puts up a chart for
the young people to initial after completing each household task, uses a
rung as an imaginary bathtub to demonstrate how to take a really
efficient bath, and appoints a utilities officer to levy fines
on wasters of electricity. While the situations are often uproarious,
there's a serious reason. Dad has a heart condition that he's keeping
secret. The children don't understand them. Anne, the oldest, rebels.
Both Dad and she are miserable at the lack of understanding between
them. Then in a deft and moving scene, Dad becomes aware of how much
Anne has grown up.
