Whether or not to send a boy to boarding school is a difficult decision for parents to make. Many considerations must be taken into account, including family income, the temperament of the boy, and the circumstances at home. It may, however, be of assistance to parents in making a decision to hear the views of headmasters and head boys from both types of school.

"Mouse House" by Rumer Godden.
Told by Jo.
Once upon a time there was a little mouse house. It was like a doll's house, but not for dolls, for mice. Its walls were painted red, with tines for bricks. Its roof was grey, with painted tiles and a red chimney. The roof lifted up, and in the house was a hall with a front door, a sitting-room, and a bedroom, each with a window. Over the front door was a notice that said, Mouse House.
