“The way to go to the circus, however, is with someone who has seen perhaps one theatrical performance before in his life and that in the High School hall....

We have a heavy burden of taxation to reduce, and we are reducing it. But while remarkable progress has been made in these directions, the work is yet far from accomplished.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
