One of the most beautiful school buildings in America houses the Junior School. its lines are softened by evergreen and ivy and if is shaded by lofty elms. Here. our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in frees, books in the running brooks. sermons in stones. and good in everything. XS an introduction, Castle Heights suggests a foundation of mutual understanding, upon which may be erected the superstructure, a healthful, useful and happy school experience for your boy. As chief corner stone of this foundation the Academy would place its own responsibility to you. It proposes in this book to talk to you about your boy. It expresses a willingness to receive him as a charge, and it offers to accept whole-heartedly and genuinely the grave responsibility of expending its wisdom and experience in his behalf. It pledges its best efforts to do for him what you, as devoted and ambi- tious parents, would do for him yourselves, did oppor- tunity and circumstances permit. Yet there is another stone in this foundation. The Academy would he unfair to itself and to you, if it did not call this to your thoughtful attention. That is, your responsibility to the Academy. There is built up at Castle Heights, a carefully planned system by means of which wonderful things may be accomplished for the normal boy. We know of no other system that will accomplish more. Yet even this system will fail to some degree unless the parents of each cadet give the Academy the same whole-hearted cooperation towards the upbuilding of the boy that the Academy pledges itself to give the parents. This applies especially in connection with the following vital considerations: Too much money to spend-demoralizing. Consent to drop subjects because they seem hard- weakening. Permission to open credit accounts or to draw checks and sign drafts indiscriminately-ruinous. Assumption of the attitude that the cadet's duty to the Academy is a matter exclusively between the Acad- emy and the cadet-damaging. Encouragement to overstay furlough, to report late viii out INTRODUCTION at the opening of term, to leave ahead of everyone else- all these are injurious to the highest degree, not only to the boy, but also to the institution. With all its heart Castle Heights believes in the pleas- ant side of school life, but not at the cost of the better and more valuable things. There are a hundred ways in which the parent can support the Academy, make its work more valuable, its teachings more constructive, and its law and order more helpful-there are just as many ways in which the parent, unintentionally, can hinder the Academy, and by hindering the Academy, also hinder the boy. That is Why Castle Heights must conscientiously state plainly at the very outset, that it cannot undertake to accomplish Worthwhile results for your boy unless you will pledge your cooperation. Let us remind you that the boys of today, your boy among them, will be the men of tomorrow. Civilization is in a critical period. Tremendous problems must be solved by this next generation. There will be a great need for clear thinking and clean living. What kind of men are these boys going to he? The Academy is making it its busines to help answer that question in the way that every father and mother wants it answered. Consider that boy of yours for a moment. Consider his education. Does he know how to study? Does he study? Has he the exclusive oversight of trained men who know their business? Is his school course properly arranged? Is he passing his classes? Is he accumulating mere facts or is he learning to use his head? Can he think? Can he spell? Can he write a decent letter? When he finishes, will he be prepared for college, for business, or for life? Consider his physique. Does he carry himself well? Is his eye clear and bright? Is he in bed every night by ten and up every morning before seven? Has he the
