I just read this and I gotta share it. It's from one of Booth Tarkington's books.
He sent Bibbs to "begin at the bottom and learn from the ground up" in the machine-shop of the Sheridan Automatic Pump Works, and at the end of six months the family physician sent Bibbs to begin at the bottom and learn from the ground up in a sanitarium.

Thanks. That's a great passage. I never read it before, but it sure tells a great story. DB
Hi DB.
I just a few mnutes ago read another "gem" from the same book and told my wife that Tarkington has a way of putting things. She agreed. He seems to "insinuate" so that you can see what is behind what he is saying. very delighful. It engages the reader a litte more.
