Before that he had schooled horses on a Texas ranch, | where his employer taught him the game, gave him mounts when he improved sufficiently to go to Meadow Brook.

The last two merely develop and claborate the contral thesis introduced in the first, "America's Coming-Of-Age."

The present year of grace, by his standards, would mark America's first long trousors, while still enjoying the adolescentpains of adjustment and still, perhaps, in a state of arrested development, Certainly America, still by Mr. Brook's standards...
