“What education have you?”
“I spent two years at Euclid College,” answered Walter, with conscious pride.
“So you are a college student?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Humph! That won't do you any good.”
“I hope it won't do me any harm, sir,” said Walter, somewhat nettled.
“No, unless it has made you conceited. I am a graduate of the People's College.”
“I don't think I have heard of that, sir.”
“I mean the common school. Don't think much of college myself. They don't help in our business. They didn't have any insurance companies in Greece or Rome, did they?”
“I never heard of any, sir.”
