The Bureaus report destroys the

Small Boy Should Be

A mother with one little delicate boy

She lived In a. section Of the city

that she was absolutely forced into
sending him to the free public school.
At first he went with joyous antici-

tie Also she observed his growing pale
ness and attenuation, and a, DISPOSE

boys.

and at night lay in a raging fever.

the first day he had been hit, his cap
snatched from his head, his little re-

was forced to associate at recess. At

While free education is, Of course,
something. which enables the rich and
poor alike to be developed mentally,
it doesn't seem right that the rough
and uncouth, and the physically
strong should be in the same classes
and occupy the same playground with
those who are both shy and weak and
unable to retaliate, and who therefore
are subject to forum OF terrorism
which follows them into their sleeping
moments and which the teachers seem
totally unable to overcome.
All over the country the playground

than none. Certain boys are born
