THE BOYS' INSTITUTE.
TO TUB EDITOR Sib — Your columns of last night give food for serious reflection ; in one an advertisement of wax works, Windsor Tragedy, &c,, admission Is, children, (id ; in another the mention of the opening of the Boys' Institute. It is woll that some earnest men have stirred themselves and mndo such a eood beginning in the direotion of supplying our boys with healthy amusement, and the suggestion mado by His Exoellenoy the Go* vernor as to the formation of a Boys' Brigade will, I hopo, be acted upon. But in order to make these things ofTootnal it teems as if something else were wantod— spine leg)elation in the direotion of establishing a system of licensing shows and exhibitions. Surely tho mero record of the Windsor tragedy as given in the newspapers is enough, without reproducing in waxwork any of its horrors. Surely those who have a hand in any snob, reproduction must bo sadly mistaken in their ideas of what should be put before the public, and before children especially. I am, &c, CHAB. P. POWLKS. 10th Juno.
