Mr. Kennedys lectures are free, and his advice is

specialization The time is distant when every
who does net possess college education will be
a woeful disadvantage in life because he will have to
compete with who better equipped by mental
training than he. In the way, it will be long
until the who does modernze himself and
his methods will be put of business by his ina
