Mrs. Murret. Well, of course, he was a young kid. I don't know what he did at home. I know I never did have anything for him to do at my house.
Mr. Jenner. Did your boys work after school when they did go to school?
Mrs. Murret. My boys?
Mr. Jenner. Yes.
Mrs. Murret. My boys—let's see. They always went to school, and during vacation time, well they had paper routes and things like that.
Mr. Jenner. That's what I mean.
Mrs. Murret. One of my boys had a paper route, and he bought about $900 worth of bonds, because I figured that I didn't need his money to feed him, and by buying a bond every 2 weeks, he would have enough to go to school later on, and it really came in handy, and then he used to pass out public service bills. One of my boys had three jobs at one time. He used to go to Loyola, where he was studying sociology, and he was given a fellowship to work in Father Victor's office. He was a priest, and he helped the father write a book, so he was given a fellowship that last year, but he always worked his way, and Marilyn had went to school and she had worked her way through school too, and Joyce, we helped pay her way through, but she had to leave school for 1 year and go to work in order to get back again to school, but now Lee just didn't think he had to go to school. He said that he was smart enough and that he couldn't learn anything at school, that nobody could teach him anything. I think his mother thought he was very smart too, evidently, you know, because she always upheld his brightness, and he was bright, you know.
Mr. Jenner. Did he do a lot of reading when he stayed at your home?
Mrs. Murret. Well, he didn't do much reading at my house, but she said he stayed in the room up there where they lived and read all the time, and that he had this little radio that he had taken apart and fixed, and so forth, things like that, and he said he didn't have any friends because it was no use, because they didn't like to do the things he liked to do.
Mr. Jenner. Who didn't like to do the things he liked to do?
