ABSTRACT
A little boy has at last reached the age when he can go to school. He is an only child and has long wished to go to the place where the other children go, to go to work like Daddy, to learn how to count and to read. To the parents’ confusion he has become really horrid at home, suspicious and easily upset. The fact is that it is quite within the normal range for such a child to react to going to school in the way one's little boy has done. The same may be observed in many children who go away to stay. Either they enjoy themselves away and are rather nasty on return, or else they come home and spin a long yarn about being fed badly, complaining that the nurses or the aunts and uncles were unkind.
