only when they are here.
The loss in the regular routine

this, let US consider this from the
point of view of habit.
The child's business is in school.

The enrolment in these grades is
very large. Every seat is already
occupied, and there is no space for
additional seats.
The first thing that attracts your
attention on entering Miss Burke's
room is the display of drawing and
water coloring upon the walls. There
is certainly a great deal of interest
