T u r I don ' t agree w ith you. Ven I was in JL) Germany before the war my wife and two boys we were always taught to get as much learning as ve could . Yes, that ' s always useful but I think that you should concentrate on one subject and become proficient in that one thing, so you can go far in life . But we don ' t learn only to get to the top . We had been arguing for an hour and a half on manv subjects, one leading to the other. Mv father was, I think, testing the ninn to sec 1k)W much education he had had. Ou zee if you concentrate on one subject you are apt to go queer. When I was studying in the Toronto University we had long dis- cussions on this subject, and later when I was working in a hospital I was able to see the effect of concentrating on oiie subject. Men would come in completely mad just from too much concentrating on one subject. It is not good . But if you learn many things you often don ' t remember any of them after a few years . Again I don ' t agree. I have five university degrees, I have worked in a hospital, written a book on politics and since my wife died some years ago I have brought up my two sons. All my learning has been of good use I think . The man picked up his tools and put them in his black bag. Veil, I guess your piano will stay tuned for a little while now .
