奥里森·斯威特·马登《向前进》· Pushing to the Front · 领导
Gaius B. Frost was graduated at the Brattleboro, Vt., High School, taught district schools six terms, and entered Dartmouth College with just money enough to pay the first necessary expenses. He worked in gardens and as a janitor for some time. During his course he taught six terms as principal of a high school, and one year as assistant superintendent in the Essex County Truant School, at Lawrence, Mass., pushed a rolling chair at the Columbian Exposition, Chicago, was porter one season at Oak Hill House, Littleton, N. H., and canvassed for a publishing house one summer in Maine. None of his fellow-students did more to secure an education.

白话
弗罗斯特从高中毕业后，教了六期乡村学校，带着刚够付第一笔开销的钱进达特茅斯学院。他先给人整理花园、当门房。读书期间，他六次受聘当高中校长，一年在劳伦斯的县逃学儿童学校做助理主管，在芝加哥世博会上推过轮椅，在新罕布什尔一家旅馆当过一季行李员，还有一个夏天在缅因替出版社拉广告。同学里没人比他更拼。他的做法是：把大学拆成一段段，每段用不同活计填上钱，再回来接着读。

如果学费要分几段凑，你愿意接受“读一段、干一段”的节奏吗？先试哪份工？
