[Milton-L] Ordering classroom editions

[Tony Demarest]

I work at Felician College, a small, Franciscan college in New Jersey- many of our students have opted for a Catholic education and are willing to pay the freight; often they too are working more hours than their professors just to make the payments, and the faculty has responded by seeking out texts more sanely priced than others. Though it is far from my favorite, I use the Portable Milton- part of the rationale, its return at the book store might net the student $4- so I help and make them highlight and underscore with abandon, hoping the end result will be almost more theirs than Milton's.
And this after an administrative post in a public school district for almost 40 years- where no budget was too large, and no educational toy was too small to buy.
