Virginia J. Arnold reports to President Roosevelt that Quentin is not conducting himself as he ought to in school and is “wasting his time.” He entered the classroom late that day, singing and flourishing his hands in a manner disruptive to the class, and was sent home. Arnold expects Quentin to return to school at one o’clock.
