Excerpt from Your Biggest Job, School or Business: Some Words of Counsel for Red-Blooded Young, Americans Who Are Getting Tired of School
Ardently as they may desire it, neither parents nor teachers can give a boy his education. It is a treasure he must dig out for himself and the task is long and hard.
The same old school house, the same old teachers and textbooks, the relentless imprisonment, the never-ending grind day after day, month after month, year after year, with his boy-nature longing all the time for freedom and adventure, for the open sky and the great outdoors - no wonder so many red blooded American boys grow weary of the task and urge their perplexed and distressed parents to let them quit schoo and go into business.
To fire the ambition and stiffen the backbone of these restless and shortsighted young Americans is the purpose of these heart-to-heart talks, which are born of cordial sympathy with boy nature and long experience as parent and teacher.
