and many residents are prevented from enjoying
its benefits.

knowledge to be used in vocational affairs, is be-

Strenuous efforts are made to see that isolated

puts the volumes into the hands of many persons
who otherwise would lack the privilege.

as "a fat yellow lump OF conceit"
Mr.. King said that not even to save
