Since then I have advanced to one position after another until I am now the general superintendent of the L. & A. Railway, directing the work of 700 men. I am always glad to recommend your Schools to those who desire to educate themselves, and I find the volumes of your Library of Technology the best and most concise upon their respective subjects that I have ever seen.
