Boys' Play if England.—Paragraphs continue to appear in the newspapers headed " Fatal Effects of Playing at : Peace." Six boys, it would appear, have.... now been sacrificed at the shrine of morbid, sensational, illustrated "literature." Playing afc hanging under any circumstances is a reprehensible practice, but that six' boys should have suffered death' though the game would appear c incredible were it not for the coroners' inquests staring us in the face. Of a truth the schoolmaster is wanted. let . us .hope that no more victims will be . claimed by the illustrated penny " dread- , fuls," - "Madam, you never confess yourself in the. wrong." " No, sir ; but if I had ever ..been in the wrong I am sure I should lisve taken great pleasure iv acknowledging it."
