them protectors instead of destroye
No one can blame the child whose
hand throws the ball in exuberance
of play which, misdirected, perhaps,
crashes through a window. In prac-
tically every instance, breakage of
this sort is not premeditated, but
is due to the fact that childish
hands and arms have not learned
the muscular control which is the
pride OF the seasoned ball player.
And it is expected that there will
be a certain amount of breakage
of windows in schools, during school
hours, when the Fairgrounds are
crowded with children.
But the great majority of win
doWs are broken after school hours;
when the children who attend the
schools have gone home and the
Fairgrounds are unsupervised. 1t
is in this situation that civic pride
enters, and it is here that home
education in the protection of public
property can be of intestimable
value.
