_In the same terms and pictures I would employ were
I in the cheer of his parson’s study giving
my experiences by word of mouth._
_Preface_
These forty chapters of absolutely real autobiography are intended to
give the reader faith in American education and to reconstruct the
human struggles and tests of character which attend the progress of the
poor but ambitious lads through a formal education for life.
