 Jerry of the circus Jeff said you wanted to see me. Yeah, put up a chair What's on your mind, Sam? Well, I thought maybe you'd like to get in on this job I have. What's that? Picking a school or Jerry? Oh, fine. Oh, you got the catalogs then. Yeah, here they are Nice assortment, too. It's going to be hard to pick the right school. Oh, that's so yeah Take a look at some of these books Seems like we ought to be able to pick one out of all these yeah Say here's one that looks good to me bumps this one here. I'm looking bunch of boys at that school Just look through here and see those pictures Say this is a fine school nice buildings, too So you know Sam I think you're doing a wise thing sending Jerry off to a good school The boy needs an education and he's the kind of a boy that'll make the most of you just bet he will he's quick He picks things up fast. Yeah, I have every reason to believe I'm going to be proud of him We all will that's why I want to be sure to pick the right school for him I want to feel that I'm doing the very best I can. Yeah, let's see this catalog Well, no, and that's pretty far bomb since a good school, but it's clear across the country. Oh, yes, I see it is Come in. Oh Yeah, Sam and I ever just going over some of these schools that he has books on find anything looks okay Looks like they're all okay, Dan Jim just got back in the post office. Mr. Randall found these books. Huh? Hey, this looks like a good one right here. Oh fair oaks. Hmm fair oaks military Academy Listen to this Military discipline tempered with good sense and adapted to growing boys the prime function of this school is academic and character That's the ticket here military training develops the boy physically and gives him a sound body Grace and carriage poise and self-control. It teaches them to respect authority and trains for leadership. That sounds good And it tells about the traditions of the school Background of the instructors. Yeah, this looks all right. Well, let's see Hmm say Jerry will like this. They have horses there and all the students ride Yeah, look at this picture of boating. Yeah. Yeah, it's a good size lake Another thing Look at this map here in the back. Yeah, see where it's located not too far from winter quarters We can hop down there in an automobile in a few hours. Well, that's ideal. I'd say yes, sir This looks like the school for Jerry. What do you say, Dan? Your Jerry's garden now, Mr. Randall What do you say go? Yeah, but what do you think of it? That's a fine list of instructors. They have Jerry'd certainly learned something at Fair Oaks I think it's a good school, Mr. Randall bumps. What do you say? Well, unless I miss my guest Jerry or like it They have everything their boy could wish for and did you tell Jerry on to see him Dan? Yes, I didn't Mr. Randall He was over with Olson. They're flipping off El Mundo. He'll be over. Good. Well, then it's agreed as we talked it over We'll put his money in the bank for him. I think that's wise. Yeah, so do I Jerry doesn't know yet that he's leaving the circus to go To school. Oh, he knows he's gonna have to go to school But he doesn't know he's leaving so soon won't you have to get in touch with the school first Well, yes, I'll call them long distance and see if I have an opening here He comes now across the line. Say Sam, don't you think Jerry should have a chance to pick the school? He's gonna have to go do sure. Yeah, that's an idea bumps, but you'll pick Fair Oaks. Oh, man. You just watch Yes, I did send for a Jerry you're invited to attend our meeting what mean the Jerry do good welfare society Yeah, I want to have a talk with you in man. I guess your uncle told you that I'm now your legal guardian. Yeah, he did All right, go on out, but stay right in front of the wagon. You better close the door Well, I'm going to start right out of my new job Jerry. That's it out You remember I told you the other day that you were going to have to go to school Yes, sir as soon as the season is over. No before that Jerry right away. Oh Mr. Randall Jerry, I've got to do my act. Well, I I think we can struggle along without the act Hello Jerry from now until the end of the season. We have nothing but one night stands You've enjoyed the best part of the season there. The rest is hard We're on the move all the time early setups and switches in the middle of the night. It's no sense really, but I don't mind Oh, I know you don't but I think you'll be better off if you go right to school You know, I want you to be happy I think you will be happy at school Why in a few days you'll forget all about the circus and take an interest in things a boy should take an interest in Football baseball swimming and things like that. You will like it Jerry Maybe oh sure you will. Mr. Randall's right Jerry if you get right at it now by the time they're promotions You'll get into a better grade now and look here I've got quite a few catalogs all sorts of different schools and pretty fine schools at that Yeah, look them over Jerry and see which one you like best Here's one I think would be nice Military schools, huh? No, that's right. Wouldn't you like to go to a military school? Oh sure I've always wanted to dad was gonna send me to one But ah gee, let me finish this season first. What's the advantage in that Jerry? I don't know, but Ah gee, I hate to leave everybody now. Oh, well, you're going to leave them at the end of the season anyway That's the way it is with circus folks on every year at the end of the season We have to say goodbye sometimes we're all together again the next season and sometimes we're not how'd you like that school Jerry?

No, what Sam? What's this you remember when you started doing your act with El Mundo Jerry? I gave you a raise in salary. Yeah, but I didn't give you the whole amount That act is worth a whole lot more than you've been putting away every week and I've been giving it I've only been paying you about a fourth. Huh?
