He appears to have reached the conclusion that there is no code which forbids him adding to his stock of knowledge in any other time besides winter. By travel, manual labor, diverse means, he can both busy himself and learn. Education is restricted neither to the classroom, nor the nine hibernal months, and the summer is assuming the position of a laboratory, an opportunity for instructive and sometimes remunerative field work...
