WHAT ARE YOU DOING FOR YOUR BOY?

During the present month many parents
are looking carefully into the question of
schools Some feel for various reasons that
. change In school is necessary, and others
are confronted with the problem of choosing
q school for the first time. The question of
pirate versus public schools should not be
suggestive of any antagonism; both types
are doing effective work. At the present
fine the public schools in Greater New York
are VIGOROUSLY inadequate to accommodate
the vast numbers Of pupils who apply for
entrance, and it is partly this situation that
has led in the past to the opening of more
priivate schools The danger, however, in
choosing private school that is not endowed
lies in the fact that some private schools are
run merely as business enterprises. The time
is not far distant when every private school
viii be under as strict a supervision as the
public schools.
It should not be considered a mark of
snobbiShness to send boy to private school;
there is Just as much democracy among pri-
vate school boys as among public school boys
In private school of democratic type there
is every advantage for the right kind of boy.
Education is purely a giving, and the school
that offers the best opportunities to the grow
inc bov is performing an important task.

BURROUGHS SCHOOL lays empl

BURROUGHS SCHOOL lays empha-
sis on the training of the small boy, by su-
pervising his play as well as his work It's
primary department has only morning ses-
sion; the rest of the day is given over to play,
and to that most instructive part of school
work-manual training. The bows are
taught how to use tools and spend two after
moons week indoors learning to make useful
and amusing objects. The other afternoons
are spent in the open air in games under the
eye of master, for many little chaps have
to be taught how to play.
The school takes care of its little
boys all day long with just enough
work and plenty of play to help par
ents solve that most difficult problem
what to do with the small boy in
big city like New York.
The older boys have the free use of thor
oughly equipped private gymnasium and
swimming pool under the supervision of
trained instructors and every boy who enters
the school is given free of charge rigid
physical examination by the school physician
The pool and the gymnasium adjoin the
school property in the rear and are reached
by private entrance, thus placing an un-
excelled equipment practically under the
same roof.
Study hours are held each afternoon after

who remain until ) p. Nj. in order to give
help to any boys who have failed in their
lessons, or who prefer to do their work for
the next day before going home.
The school does not charge extra for pr-
vate tutoring by its own masters. thus elimi-
mating possible element of favoritism.
There is no extra charge of anv sort. Sta
tionery and school supplies are free; books
are lent
The spirit of the entire school is hard work
and hard play. The number of BOYS in each
class is restricted No crammng methods
are allowed There should be no short cut to
learning for undue haste in schooling means
a sacrifice In scholarship
The aim of the school is to earn reputa-
tion OF being just as good as public school.
1t stands for thoroughness In all things, for
scholarship that is sound, and for democ-
racy that is the heritage of every true Amer
lean boy.
The building is now open for inspection
from to daily, and visitors are cordially
welcomed. The Schools Secretary will make
appointments for any parents who may wish
personally to talk with the headmaster. The
