But the further it gets into the problem, the sooner it will learn that the only way to stop Government in business is to stop...
...University of Michigan, he started out as a high-school science teacher in Manistee. worked his way up to be Michigan's superintendent of public instruction. A restless, bubbling executive, he ran his 8,000 schools and 42,000 teachers with amiable efficiency.
