before hardly a day passed that park
property was not damaged by thought

"The organization of clubs for the
protection Of park property would re-
suit in implanting in the minds and
hearts of those boys a love of law and
order and a respect for proper dlscl-
plne that would go far toward shaping
their conduct in life; their example
would cause other boys TO follow their
lead and reap the same moral benefit;
there would be brought home to the
parents of those boys, their friends and
neighbors and those with whom they
come in contact while in the discharge
of their duties a realization of the
fact that public parks are not only the
peoples Fairgrounds and recreation
centres, but also places OF beauty TO
appeal TO the finer senses OF man.
