ro PARENTS HE SELECTION of a school for your boy is no small matUr. He IS the center of your hopes and ambitiona. Rb failure or success in life will mean your sorrow or happinens ; and his career in the tt rld will depend largely upon liis caret r in school. So you are I)ii)li,ilily exciri.sinK all posaihlc rait- and dilipence in choosing: an ii -tit ntini) to fif ' Vf ' lop the heat f hin r- ' in liim. In apiti of all yon ran do, your choico will lu- l:«r ri ' ly ;i mattiT dI cliainc Voii liavo proluilily written for a numbtr of lutalugues; out of tiieai- y ' l ' . lil si loct two or ti,itv which seem to set forth thi- ifquncmenta that you ivi.nt.
