midnight
When a man gets a sheepskin from this school , he does n't need to go scuffling around for work ; he already has a job . Its museum contains , not a few small specimens of ore , but is the mine itself . Let your son take an ante-graduate course of a few years on the road and he will know to what use to put his book learning when he gets that . I do not decry book lore ; the midnight incandescent burned over the classic page is a good thing . I am merely saying that lots of good copper wire goes to waste , because too many college `` grads '' start their education wrong end first . They do not know for what they are working . If I were running a school my way and the object was to teach a boy _ method _ , I 'd hand him a sample grip before I 'd give him a volume of Euclid .
