"This is the place for it. There's just two kinds of people in the world," the Commissioner went on; "those who do just what they learn to do and nothing else, and those who do the work because they want to."
"Yes, sir," again responded the boy, wondering what was coming.
"The first lot keep things running and that's all. The others are the real men. The last are the men we've got in the Bureau and everybody has to be up to the standard. So, there you are."
"I don't know whether I can come up to the standard, but I'm one of those that want to!" the boy said emphatically, rightly judging that the
Commissioner was not the sort of man who liked long speeches.
