A.-Thank you. You are fair.
and ! am. too. | agree with you
that a man with a little character
may do as you say. but this was a
very young boy: and repeat my
sentiments II had n boy under
my care would try TO strengthen
him during the impressionable age
TO meet the world later. and would
not consent TO his attending any
school away from home.
was raised IN college town,
and lived for years In a town
where there was military school,
and am not entirely ignorant OF
what ! say. When a boy becomes
OF sensible age | might consider
the question differently. but not for
boy OF 10. az the writer OF that
letter was.
I am not speaking against the
navy. but the boys leaving home
at such early age
OIL am n teacher. and am very
much In love with one Of my pupils.
