TALK ABOUT SPORT

WOMEN'S STUDY CIRCLE

Mrs.' Bosher recently gave an emertaining talk to the Women's Study Circle on "Sport." She quoted the maxim that "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." The popular game of cricket was recognised as the prince of games, said the speaker, while. the ancient g/.ie of football was for the virile and robust. Basketball; a not too strenuous game, was ideal for girls on this account. Mention was made of tennis, golf, baseball, and la crosse, and many others which call for skill in action, many of which had their origin in the old Roman days. Card playing apparently had existed through the ages. For the development of one's "mental muscles," chess stood supreme, and to be well played called for great concentration and assimilation Sport had a great tonic effect, whether played in or out of doors. Games trained the eye and conduced generally' to physical and mental wellbeing. '.'. More than that, it engendered that spirit of co-operation and brotherliness by which a true sport should-be. known. . Mrs.- Lineker (president) thanked Mrs.' BOsher warmly for her address.
