The editors were connected with several alternative schools in the Toronto area, most notably Everdale Place, a rural free school northwest of the city, and Point Blank School in downtown Toronto. The magazine included accounts of experimental schools and educational communities, reflections on youth and alternative schooling, and practical suggestions for political organizing on educational issues.
