ing the law. The sergeant is telling them that
it isn't JOY to a policeman to have to stop
harmless play. The policemen are fond Of
play themselves; they have gymnasiums IN
their station houses. and lots of the men spend
a good part Of their spare time there playing
handball and other games. But, the sergeant
says, the best place for boys TO play is in parks
that are set aside for that purpose, or in streets
that have temporarily been made Fairgrounds
in the congested districts.
Then comes a lesson about the dangers Of
street crossings, and warning that boys and
girls ought to wait to catch the eye of the
traffic policeman before attempting to cross
The eager listeners are told Of the danger Of
building fires in the streets. They make holes
in the asphalt and when team comes along
later the driver is often bumped from the seat
and seriously hurt, if not killed.
The boys are urged to appeal TO a police
man when they are in doubt about anything
having to do with the city ordinances. That's
what the policeman is for, and he's only too
glad to help. And so il goes with all the little
problems of youngsters in the streets-roler
skating, playing ball. diving into crowds gath
cred about the scene of an accident. and so on.
The next time the sergeant goes to that
particular school he has for the pupils a sugar
coated lesson in civics. They've heard the
same things a dozen times from the teacher,
but the lesson hasn't stuck. When the SER
geant explains In simple language the origin
of the lawmaking bodies Of city, state and ma
ton; when he tells about elections about the
duties Of the courts. and the part the police
man plays in helping them to set things
straight the boys understand what's what, and

formatory will do all he can to drive him back
so that he can fatten his record Of arrests. To
disabuse the minds Of the youngsters of any
such feeling, the sergeant tells them that the
best evidence of the efficiency Of a policeman
