PLAN No. 595. WESTERN MAN’S WAY OF GOING THROUGH UNIVERSITY
This man was about thirty-two before any opportunity presented itself for him to have a university education. He had finished high school, and from that time became a worker. His hobby was speaking and writing, and he had soon become the spokesman for the men he worked with. He was sincere and earnest and won a good reputation among his fellow-workmen. Several occasions presented themselves for him to champion their cause. The members of his association, knowing his desire to go through the law school, managed to finance him and he repaid them by assisting them in whatever way he could. He finished his law course and began practice with a large number of clients which guaranteed his future.
Many young men, while I was at the university, made it a point during the summer to give addresses on temperance or some political subject, or by public speaking assisted men who were either preparing or running for public office.
