negative. A lively discussion and good

our cities, realize what is due, often at
some sacrifice of time, pains and preju-

in the line of edifying recreation and
amusement: Alas! for the heart and
brains of the man or woman who would
seek to throw cold water on what few
means or organizations we have whose
real and honest purpose is to make better
and more attractive the environment of
our young folks, and so curb little OF
their natural restlessness and keep them
willing stayers-at-home.
