BADEN-POWELL Oix LEISURED LOAFERS. LADIES AND WASTED TIME. THE SPECTATOR TOO LAZY TO PLAY. BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH —COPYRIGHT. - PEB PRESS ASSOCIATION. (Received May 17, 11.25 a.m.) Sydney, May 17. Major-General Sir R. S. JJadenPo well severely condemns loafers. He includes in this category people of leisure who frivol away their lives equally with the tramp who refuses ■to work. This, may also be observed, he 6ays, of a proportion of ladies, who should have some live business. The waste'of human- bodies' and souls was appalling. Learning to play tlie piano, he said, would not help them to play the harp in-the next world. He blames lookers-on at football and other sports. These spectators were too lazy to play themselves. He indicated that scouting was panacea for deweloping character, honor, pluck, observation, deduction, selfreliance; energy, chivalry, proficiency in handicrafts and life for the i>ublic service.
