INTRODUCTION


In a certain Western university the president receives a salary of ten
thousand dollars a year for training young men and young women, while
not many miles distant from that university is a stock-farm the
superintendent of which receives a salary of twelve thousand dollars for
training high-bred colts. That colt-trainer is at hand when the colt is
foaled, and before it rises to its feet has rubbed down its head and put
a halter upon it, so that from birth it shall be accustomed to the
feeling of the halter.

From that time the training of the colt is not suspended for a moment.
