bring up the same objection when he has started to school, and then it will be harder to combat.

 So, I thought very hard, while he began to feel rebellious and displayed his feelings by tearing small bits off a card of clasp fasteners on the table. "If you make me go

to K. I will tear up this card" etc. Then I made a speech similar to the following. "Now, Malcolm, I want you to understand just why it is that I want you to go to K. You know, when you get to be a big man, you won't be here with us all the time, as you are now. You will have to go to work and earn your living as other folks do. But you can't do that unless you are educated and when we say educated we mean that you have to be trained - taught to use your mind to think with and your hands to work with. And kindergarten is the first step in education - and then comes grammar school, high school and college. You will be going to all those and if you go to kindergarten you will find grammar school much easier, and will enjoy the work more than if you did not go. and if you go to K. you will be well trained and well trained people can make more money
