BOYS' WEEK

SYDNEY ROTARIANS' EFFORT.

(From Our Own Correspondent.) SYDNEY, 4th August. In the congested areas of Sydney, where there is not much poetry and very little room to play, the average boy looks out on life as one looks into a kaleidoscope. Ho sees an endless variety of colours. Unfortunately for him, they are not all beautiful colours. They are mostly drab colours—the colours that aro influencing not a few of the lives of the young human complex that is to be the manhood of to-mor-row. For these boys the Rotarians of Sydney, in «o-operation with the Boys' Brigade, have already done magnificent service. They are now preparing for another big drive for them, and also for the Kindergarten Union and the Day Nurseries' Association. The Rotarians of Sydney want to do something essentially practical for those less fortunate in their midst, and have sot their hearts on achieving this in their Boys' Week, to begin on 24th September. After all, it is in such work, rather than in the tortuous labyrinths of theology, that one finds the real religion and the real joy of it. There are endless ways in which heaven can be brought right down to earth in a place like Sydney—among the boys of the mean streets and congested quarters, for instance. The Rotariajis are trying to make them happier boys and better men.
