Q: Why more boys?
A: Men are still the decision makers in most families when cash on the order of a year at Hyde is at stake. Men tend to have repressed hostility toward there male child because they see them as a rival for the affection of the mother. Men send their sons to Hyde as a hostile act. They banish the son to regain the affection of the mother Joe's take on how to tough love kids is based on the hostility he felt from his step father.

I have wondered, on occasion, whether Joe's stepfather ever threatened him with reform school (along with its concomitant pall on a stellar career course).
Much of the Hyde setup, especially in the early days, seemed like the guts of a reform school dressed up with the aesthetic trappings of a prep school. Maybe Joe thought he could give kids like himself -- rabble-rousing malcontents -- "a chance."

Or is that 2:1 ratio a desired quota?

2:1 is certainly a less dull affair if you are the girl with the mousey hair.

I have only vague memories of Joe's stories of middle class hell in Wellsley Ma. I recall that the gist was when he was a kid he thought his step father was a bastard, but when he was older he realized how growing up in that situation made him tougher, gave him more character. I think Joe's childhood experience formed the basis of the Hyde Experience.
