this day forgotten. On the other hand, a learned doctor, head of one ofour great medical schools, visited me one day with asimilar request. He wanted to start a collection. I gavehim a book such as you are now reading and advisedhim to study it as it contained the best information I hadon the subject. In a day or so he returned and requested"one of those beginner's outfits" the book told about. Itwas provided and the doctor took it home to apply him-self to learning. A few weeks passed before I saw thisfellow again but when he returned he was full of con-fidence. "I've read the book," he said, "and I've workedout the thousand different stamps. Now I feel that I cango ahead. Let me see some of those better albums andlet's see about starting a real collection." In due coursethis man built one of the finest collections of airmailstamps ever assembled and became one of the great col-lectors of our country. By starting correctly he foundthe way to enjoy one of the world's greatest culturalhobbies. |
