AN AMERICAN LEADER
AND A SOD HOUSE

AN AMERICAN LEADER
AND A SOD HOUSE
IN THE EARLY 1905 sod houses
were not unusual on the plains of
western Nebraska. They were
houses with dirt floors, dirt walls
and dirt ceilings.
In one such house man child was
born of a pioneer mother. I cannot
tell you his name, for to do so would
be breaking a confidence. Today he
is one of Americas leading econo-
mists, occupying an important place
in American life.
At the age of six he began attend
ing school for five months each year.
His school was a one-room affair,
presided over by a young woman,
who taught only the three RS. He
wanted knowledge and he purchased
it for himself, working his way
through college and majoring in eco
nomics that he might find out what
made America tick. He improved
the opportunity America offered,
and today is making every possible
effort to maintain that opportunity
for Americas boys and girls-the
American way of life.
