About Boarding Schools

Dear Mics Lee: Is a boarding school all
right to go TO. II your parents are separated
IL Il clean.
q Do you like our schools in Indianspo-
lis. and do the pupils have good times?
LITTLE EVA.
1. The fact that a girls parents are
separated would not make boarding
school either good or bad for her.
Some boarding schools maintain a
very high standard, both in regard to
cleanliness and scholarship. Others,
naturally, rank much lower.
2. did not attend school in In
dianapolis. However. from my OBJ
servation, l should say the schools
here are quite good. Indiana schools
rank seventeenth in the country, but
usually are ranked higher in scholar.

primarily for good times. Besides
people make their own good times.

Dear Miss Lee: I am a girl 10. I have
been going with a young fellow two years
Ny people don't want me TO keep company
with this fellow. They say he Is not the
kind for ME. He seems to care for me at
times, and at other times he does not.
He is visiting his people IN Ohio.
He has been gone six weeks ard have
received six letters When he returns, he
wants me to go away with him and get mar
ried. He does not want to let my people
know where l am. 1 love this fellow very
much and am willing to marry him My girl
friend tells me I should marry him Do you
think II would disgrace my people Ii l did?
An elopement might not cause your
family to be disgraced but it GER
tainly would cause them sorrow Why
do they object to the young man? The
fact that he wants you to break all
connections with your family gives
me an unfavorable impression of him
No, don't run away You surely
would regret it, and would want your
family.
