"Do we not all from the bottom rung of the ladder look eagerly toward the top the student to the masters of his profession, the apprentice to the seat of his employer? Why should not a soldier look for high favor at Court?" "Such favor must be won, Captain Ellerey." "I am willing to win it." "Patience. You shall not always find those fastnesses deserted, those riots quelled when you arrive.
Now that these successful experiments have been carried out in this country, is it not time that the idea of establishing new industries on new sites, and of surrounding those industries with healthy homes, should be carried forward on a larger scale, with wider and more concerted aims carried forward, too, in such a manner as to make it possible for the small manufacturer to take part in a movement which has proved to be so beneficial alike to employer and employed?
He reported by telephone to his employer, who seemed relieved to know that everything was so quiet and untroubled down at that end of his range.
