Abstract
"Mrs. Del Valle offers Tonio a place in a private school. Thus at the opening of schools in June, Tonio found himself enrolled in the school which had been the object of his boyish dreams. Tonio realized what good the school had done for the boys of the slums. Naturally intelligent, hardworking, and helpful, Tonio soon became a favorite among the teachers and popular among the children as a monitor, he worked the fastest and helped the others with their assign­ments. Accustomed to frugal living, Tonio found little to spend his allowance for. Tonio came to be a star player in the primary department of his school.
