Plan No. 373. He Went Through the Law College at Washington, D. C.
His father was always active in politics and raised his son on the plan to depend on himself. When his son finished high school, the question was, how to finance his college course. He wanted to be a lawyer and he desired as broad a training as possible. His father’s answer to his inquiry about the college expense was, “I know my son has ability sufficient to finance himself through college.”
The father was right but, nevertheless, he helped the boy to an appointment in one of the departments at Washington, D. C., where he served during his entire course.
The young man had plenty of funds during his entire course and had a wonderful opportunity to study our national government and its workings at first hand, which opportunity comes to but few men in a life time.
There are many postmasters or men in our government service who would be pleased to help you get a position in some government department at Washington when they know that by such assistance they are helping a young man to realize a high ambition.
