Having myself formerly experienced the delight which such a collection is capable of affording, I am anxious to tell the boys of to-day how it was done, to encourage them to make a similar attempt. Many a schoolboy does not know what to do either with his spare time or pocketmoney, so both are wasted, and he becomes a man and takes his place among the toilers of the world with no hobby to turn to for relaxation in his leisure, with nothing to link him to the days of his youth, and to keep him fresh and young in heart as he combats with the anxieties of life.
