A factor in home-work -the HOME

          The vice principal of a middle school lectures parents on

    the importance of their kids' home-work in an article in a local

    newspaper. He says that not doing home-work is the basis for the

    kid 's BAD ATTITUDE . This BAD ATTITUDE is downright contagious in

    the classroom .

            Indeed so ominous is this BAD ATTITUDE that we can predict

    the epitaph of the future good for nothing adult : HE HAD A BAD ATTITUDE !

         So in the absence of martinet vice principals, the kid's parents

    must act a surrogate: Nip that BAD ATTITUDE in the bud !

          Some practical advice for doing homework is offered by the

    scholar-warden : The kid needs a well lighted place free from distractions.

          Any social worker familiar with the homes of the " underprivileged "

    will understand the futility of this recommendation.

            Perhaps kids in South Providence can rent rooms - CHEAPLY -

    from Cranston residents ?

            Can Mr. Scienzo of the Hugh B. Bain Middle School have clean,

    well lighted places available for his future victims of a BAD ATTITUDE !

            Wanted : A room with a view .
