1. GC: You will have before you the entity [1208], present in this room. You will consider the information given this entity in his Life Reading, June 23, 1936, regarding his urges and development. You will consider at this time the decision which is to be made regarding the entrance of this entity in the High Mowing School, Wilton, N.H., under the direction of Mrs. [2174]. Considering this entity's age, surrounding and associations, as well as those which would exist in the High Mowing School, please advise those in charge of the entity's development as to the decision regarding entering him in this school in September. You will answer any questions that may be asked:

2. EC: Yes, we have the entity here, [1208], and those possibilities and probabilities as may be in the experience of this entity in this material sojourn, under the direction or development IN that direction which has been indicated.

3. As we find, then, the conditions that are to be considered are the environs of the school, the developments and the aims and purposes of those who direct same, and the ability of those directing same to interpret - in mental and material ways - those suggestions which have been given, which may be given, respecting the unfoldment of this body-mind.

4. For, as we find, those abilities, those tendencies, those urges that have been indicated for this entity ARE apparent, if there will be the correct analysis of this unfolding mind.

5. As to the ability, as to the place, as to the environ, - this as we find would be as near ideal as might well be imagined. And thus this is the CORRECT age, if there is to be the consideration of the body-mind itself.

6. But this should not be that as of an experiment, rather as of a fact. Thus those that are interested should lend every help possible. For, there will be the proper consideration given by those in authority in this particular

school, in this particular environ.

7. If there is an analysis of those that were contemporaries with the entity, that were speakers from that portion of the country, we will understand why there is the outward expression with the entity in the desire to go there.

8. This also should be considered by those as they enable the entity to form its ideas, its ideals: DO KEEP THE IDEAL IN THE SPIRITUAL IMPORT. DO GIVE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR SELF-UNFOLDMENT; not self-indulgence, to be sure - for this is as a problem in the experience of the entity.

9. Not that there will not be days when the entity may be, for the moment, unhappy - and would make those who are responsible feel as if possibly it would be a temptation to change the environs. But give the entity this opportunity. Lend self, even make sacrifices for it. Not only is it that the entity may have the opportunity for the better expression, but THINK WHAT THE ENTITY MAY MEAN, CAN MEAN, TO SO MANY OTHERS!

10. Ready for questions.

11. (Q) During the present conditions of the country, is this location safe? (A) Much safer than where he is now!

12. (Q) Then, you would advise entering him in this school in this coming September? (A) In the coming September, enter him in this school for that period until he is ready for college.

13. (Q) What preparations should the mother make regarding his clothes, etc. (A) These should be under the direction or supervision of those in the environ or the climate. For, to be sure, as indicated by those who will have charge, there will be the necessity for the TYPE of clothing necessary for that particular climate.

14. (Q) Who would you advise to take the body up there this fall? (A) Whoever chooses to go!

15. (Q) Are there any warnings or other advice? (A) As has been indicated - those things that have been intimated and indicated here. This is an opportunity - don't let it pass - for his sake.

16. We are through for the present. [See 1208-18, Par. R3.] Copy to Mrs. [2174] " " Mother " " Father " " Ass'n file
