the action of certain prominent citizens for not
posing lawlessness, that as we have inveighed

The Roller Rink.

We know of no stronger argument in
favor of the roller rink than that it keeps the
young people IRON street loafng TIE as-
sociations in the rink are not immoral. 1t
is claimed by some that they ave. Purists
with their ingenious casuistry will discover
wrong, or something condemnable in all
social conditions. We recommend those
who are inclined TO condemn the healthful,
graceful and inspiritiug advertisement gain
ed at the rink, just to visit Que of them be-
fore they come to any final conclusions upon
the matter.
The new Citizens Rink, just opened
would be sample. 1t is properly policed.
The best order exists. Not suggestion of
of the slightest improperly is possible, and
during two hours visit naught can be
said except in due justice to the admirable
arrangements and efficient regulations car
ried out with the strictest exactitude.
If only proper precaution be taken upon
leaving the building for fear of taking cold
there is no further apprehension to be con-
sidered. Roller skating is a healthy, enjoy
able exercise, of the greatest advantage to
those confined to business within doors dur
ing the day. 1t gives grace and ease to the
carriage circulates the blood, reacts on the
system generally, and is about the best
agent in a hygenic sense that can be
thought of.
That any one should condemn the idea in
the hasty unjust fable way we have heard
is ridiculous. We ask those people under
what circumstances can you find perfect
freedom from the possibilities you suggest /?
The best protected human conditions are at
all times open to the faults you cite. 1t is
quite within tho power Il those Who ire
quent the rink to make the hours enjoy
ment there an invigorating and advantage.
