SCHOOL FOR CHILD.
From F. T. M, Chevy Chase, Md. J
The question of What to do?'
put by Mrs. A. L. of Arlington in.
terested me because her situation /.
very similar to the one we had. Fol
what it may be worth to Mrs. A. l..
I will show how we handled a like
situation with the thought of help
ing her decide for herself "Wha,
to dol"
Our boy was to come Of school
age In December here In Montgom-
cry County. Like Mrs. A. L.. we were
faced with either keeping him out
OF school for a year, or else send

to go to any of the reputable pri.

stead of losing a full year Of his val
liable young life, our boy saved ,
haf-year and Is much more aetiv.

enrolled in another State or count,
without the same date Of eligibilit,
and was then transferred to theil
school, they couldn't refuse to &C.
cept them. Fortunately we has
relatives living in Maryland so oul
problem was solved by sending hin
TO school there for a month ans
then having him transferred to tn,
Virginia School.
