from his last escapade-running out in
the street, jumping on Il cart and fall

suspend him he will be right back
again, probably the next day, because
his father is minister Robert had
been in our school only a day or two
when he refused to recite his lesson.
I called him up and said to him: Rob

school. and 1t isn't Robert Pattison. l

after school until you recite your les

hour. Then he put his hand TO his
head and was apparently deep in
thought for two or three minutes Then
he shook himself. his face cleared up.
