<blockquote>The experiment took on a life of its own, with students from all over the school joining in: on the third day the class expanded from initial 30 students to 43 attendees. All of the students showed drastic improvement in their academic skills and tremendous motivation. All of the students were issued a member card and each of them received a special assignment (like designing a Third Wave Banner, stopping non-members from entering the class, etc.). Jones instructed the students on how to initiate new members, and by the end of the day the movement had over 200 participants.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Jones_essay_3-8"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Third_Wave#cite_note-Jones_essay-3"><span>[</span>3<span>]</span></a></sup> Jones was surprised that some of the students started reporting to him when other members of the movement failed to abide by the rules.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Jones_essay_3-9"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Third_Wave#cite_note-Jones_essay-3"><span>[</span>3<span>]</span></a></sup>

On Thursday, the fourth day of the experiment, Jones decided to terminate the movement because it was slipping out of his control.&nbsp;</blockquote>
