world, they said, “Lawson is crazier than a bedbug.” But you know now that what I told them was true, don’t you?
 Now, remember, those people who repudiated the advanced truths I have just related were not ignorant, illiterate folks, but were the so-called wisemen of their day.
 In the year of 1908 I wrote a letter to every college president in the U.S.A. and told them that I would teach aeronautic’ engineering to a class if they would get it up, and that it wouldn’t cost them anything. I promised to send the typewritten lessons and charts through the mail at my own expense.
 Naturally, I thought every college in Amer­i­ca would accept that offer. But did they? Not one.
 One facetious old fossil wrote, “If we catch any balloonatics around our institution we’ll put them where they will be well guarded.”
 So you see what you are up against when you bring out the truth and try to educate the people whose minds are filled with slop. You can’t do it.
 Little children with empty, fertile minds can easily learn the truth if the elders will only give them a chance. But the old folks cram their little brains with falsehoods and theoretical nonsense that they learned from past masters whose bones now fertilize the graveyards.
 So if you don’t give the children an opportunity to learn the truth they will grow up without reasoning faculties. Their minds will be like stagnant pools.
 Today the Direct Credits Society is giving to the world true economics.
 That is something the world has never had before. Our intelligent officers are teaching Direct Credits everywhere. Millions of people in America have already embraced it. But not one college has espoused it—yet. After the common people know all about it, then the college students will be given a chance to learn it.
 From the time I offered to teach college students aeronautic engineering, five years elapsed before classes were started in those institutions for that purpose.
 In the meantime, I established two aeronautic magazines (Fly, 1908, and Aircraft, 1910) and taught the children of America how to build aeroplanes that would fly. I taught them aeronautic engineering and how to build airliners, airlines and an aircraft industry. After most of the kids in America understood aerology then the colleges began to teach it.
 So now I advise all educational institutions to wake up on Economics, Physics and natural mechanics, and not try to hold the world back on these important subjects. You educated men and women must find a little extra space within your skulls for the advanced truths that you have never heard before. When we prove everything we teach it is foolish for you to stick to your old, worn-out theories. If your children take up the study of Lawsonomy now they will be at least a generation ahead of the children who don’t after they grow up.
