The boisterous, vulgar behaviour of the
children on the public street on their way
to and from school is growing nuisance
in this community, to the disgrace of
themselves, their home training and the
schools they attend. Twice a day these
reprobates dash into the post office, racing
through the lobby, dragging their feet,
using outIandish language, and acting
precisely like little saVagesin the making.
Sometimes the police are at hand, and the
demand for a check on this scandaIous
performance has been drawn to the no.
tice of the chief who occasionally drops in
and surprises the crowd. 1t is a shame
that people in a civilized town, just from
their school teachers desks where it is
assumed they receive lessons in decorum
as we'll as other things, should have to be
kept in order by police when they enter
public places. 1t is understood that this
matter has been represented to the school
authorities without visible improvement.
