This Campus
and

That World
By RAI.ril E. JOHNSON
Sometimes I wish I had never gone to school, or at least never gone
past secondary classes. Had I dropped from school then and gone to
work, I am sure I would have derived greater satisfaction from my dreaming. I know more now, to be sure, but it's parrot stuff.
