wonderful privilege it is for the children to dwell under a paternal roof 

 while attending grammar school, high school, and university. 



What a wonderful privilege for a family wishing to educate the 

 children, to be able to live in a productive garden home while the 

 children are "going through school," thus keeping the home ties 

 unbroken and at the same time having the most abundant living in a 

 rent-free home, with intensely interesting work. While the boys are 

 going to school, father can raise poultry and rabbits and choice fruits, 

 and vegetables, and who knows but what this natural environment 

 will mean more to the boy than his college career? 



While the girls are studying, mother can have a flower garden and 

 song birds and create a fit setting for that romantic period. 



Add to these school advantages the finest climate in the world, and 

 it is little wonder that Runnymede is made up of the best families.
