Velops is the little mother many
sll.s1ller children being left by the

who is given much instruction by the
directress in the care Of children" said
the speaker.
He also said that the playground
keeps children off the streets, it being
noted that in some districts Of Winn1-
peg where large numbers Of children
played in the railroad yards and that
since the establishment of the play
grounds the children are not indulging
in this practice. This was in the for
eign section Of the city.
Each playground in Winnipeg has its
own government, the boys electing
mayors, aldermen, police commission
ers and magistrates where little mis-
demeanors are handled by the boys
themselves through banishment from
the playground for certain periods for
various offenses. The dircctress is the
final court Of appeal. T. - =
The speaker laid stress on the fact
that a playground is not at it's best
unless 1t has a bathing and swimming
place and told what has been done in
this line in the Manitoba city.
Mr.. Morrison also dealt with the
matter Of winter sports and sports in
general He said that Canadians have
adopted number Of American sports
and he would now like to see America
adopt a number of Canadian sports in
return.
He advanced the idea that as long as
the two countries had international
sports and got together once in a
while to work off their surplus
energies there would never be need of
q line of fortifications along the
Canadian American boundary line.
Looking at it from another stand
point he said that nothing would be
better from a preparedness standpoint
than good sports as they develop the
young men and boys who may some
day be called on to defend their coun-
try.

had come and the frequent repetition
of the word "DOda" made it clear
enough that this was a rescue party

on a slab of basalt and watched their
