This is a very interesting age. Within the memory of men not yet
come to middle life a universal and wholesome pastime of boys has
been developed into a great national industry, thoroughly organized
and almost altogether relegated to professional hands, no longer
the exercise of the million but a spectacle for the million, and a
game which rivals the Stock Exchange as a means of winning money
on the difference of opinion as to the skill of contending
operators in the study of Occupational Health And Safety.
