of cooperation betweenthe citizens, young and old, and the policemen.The boys and girls feel that the man in theblue coat is one of their best friends. Theyknow that if little brother is lost, the first manto tell is the * * cop on the corner. He will tele-phone to headquarters, and in fifteen minutesevery policeman in the city will be watching forthe lost little boy—and probably they will find him. They know that it is the policeman whohelps the aged and lame and blind across thecrowded street. If any one is hurt or falls un-conscious on the sidewalk, it is the man in bluewho is at once at his side, keeping back thecurious crowds until the ambulance and thedoctor come. And the boys and girls, for theirpart, do all they can to help their friend. Theydont throw stones or deface buildings or stealfrom stores, and they show other boys that intheir city such actions are despised. For thepoliceman is the protector and helper of boysand girls and not their enemy.
