...would deny that an adequate education can be acquired outside a classroom. But it is only the very exceptional student who has the initiative or the vision to be able to do so. Mere hard work and a desire to succeed do not uniformly bring results. Leaving the delights of scholarship out of the question, it is a soul-satisfying thing to be able to tell the butter and egg men that a group of successful and hardheaded lawyers have found that a college education is off practical value...

Mr. Mills was not expected to go to his new post until February inasmuch as he is an important member of the Ways and Means Committee of the House, which has tax reduction and alien property bills to consider at the winter session. A man with political ambitions and no longer young, who recently battled to be Governor of New York, cannot be expected to tuck himself quietly away in "the little Cabinet."* Perhaps...
