COURT TO SETTLE DISPUTE.

Pending & controversy between the headmaster of his school and his father, Watford boy has been at home from school for nearly six months.

The controversy arose over the fact that the father sent his boy to school with an open-neck shirt.

Tha maiter was raised at a meet-. ing of Watford School Managers. Alderman H. J. Bridge read a statement on the father's behalf saying that towards the end of June or early in July the father had an interview with Mr. W. H. Belsher, headmaster

of Beechen Grove School, Watford, in which he stated that a doctor had advised that his son should wear an open-neck shirt.
