In many cities provision ex- ists for the supervision of playgrounds. The children, when at play as when at work, are under the charge of an adult, who is responsible for their good behavior. The op- portunity is taken of watching the youngsters in their play and of inculeating in them good habits and good manners. It is in this way possible to check exepnditure on three ships over which they would have not the slightest control. The idea of seeking the permission of the taxpayers of Canada _ before embarking upon a course which every responsible Canadian statesman for generations had declined to pursue was more than Sir Richard could stand, and he hung his head in shame. Who are the people, anyway? But other heads are hanging the growth of that roughness in shame.
