Books are full of knowledge

I write on the subject of school and college.

Albert Einstein did not have a college education, nor did Steinmetz or Thomas Edison or Benjamin Franklin or Walt Disney. What am I trying to say?

The public library is free. Thousands of books beg to be read. Two books read weekly on any given subject will give a person far more knowledge than any university, college or school — all for free!
