The Circus is no place for a fine young boy to grow up. Oh, there's nothing wrong with circus people, but when a lad has a lot of potential like Jerry Dugan does, he needs more structure and instruction. At least those are the thoughts of Mr. Randall, owner of Randall Brothers Circus and Jerry's guardian.

The answer is the Military Academy at Fair Oaks. There is everything there that a young boy could need or want. There is a tradition of honor and discipline that will help shape him into a fine man.
