...Bolsheviki, have proved unduly neglectful of one of their most ardent votaries-- Deputy Misiano of the Italian Parliament.

Some men feel that leaving college would not affect their later success. For them there is but one thing to do,--go to work this summer. Let them show that desire for work is not all talk.

At the end of the summer they will come back, realizing that one gets out of life exactly what he puts into it.
