Dear Readers: I go on day

Reporting on tests through

Boy. Small for Age.
Needs Protective Skills
Mrs. c. l., West Hyattsuille

MIS-. u L., west HyuLLSDltLe
Does anyone know where
jujitsu, wrestling or boxing
lessons could be arranged for
an eight-year-old boy? He was
kind-hearted. gentle and mild
tempered, but is beginning to
get mean and develop be-
havior problems from con-
stantly having to take" it. He
is very short and slight for his
age has always played and
gotten along well with chill
dren in the neighborhood who
nave been taught to play with
consideration, and is generally
well liked. He keeps his hands
to himself and has never been
known to start a fight.
But at school, he gets
"beaten up" and pushed
around constantly, mostly be
cause the other boys know he
won't defend himself. We have
to send a new pencil and
eraser with him every day.
They take his because they
know he can't get them back.
Last week he came home
with a black eye--it develops
he was playing with a boy and
another little boy who had
played with him before re-
scented it. Apparently if you
make a new friend, your for
mer friend becomes an arch
enemy" Every time the teacher
leaves the room another boy
shoves him around for the
same reason They tend to be
very cliquish about their
friends and cannot all play to-
gether happily it seems. He
cannot be everyone's best
friend and is caught in the
fray.
Any help viii be appreci-
ated. 1t doesn't help to tell
him to hit back" He is too
frail and gentle. The name of
a private school for this type
of child would also be appreci-
ated. He is above average in
intelligence.

Says Castor Oils Best
Anon., WaShinQton

AfLOH., w uSHtHgtOH
According to an old copy
of the Scientific American
Cyclopedia of Formulas, and
I quote. There is nothing
as good as castor oil for pre-
serving leather. Linseed
oil is perhaps better than
nothing. but it rots the leather.
:. With regard to castor oil,
it may further be said that
1t does not prevent a polish
