the auspices of the ontario boys work board this work board is in charge of church- centred boys groups throughout ontario this year ninety elected boys from sixteen to twentyone years of age came to parliament representing the boys of ontario our purpose was to work on a christian basis for the boys of the province many people have expressed the opinion that boys parliament is only a sham this is certainly not the case in our sessions this year held in the legislative chambers of queens park i believe we did credit to ourselves as a parliament each boy lias his choice of belong ing to either the government or opposition parties the premier and his own selected cabinet pre sent the legislation in the house for debate the purpose of the opposi tion party of which i was a mem ber is to give constructive criticism to the proposed legislation so that it will be as perfect as possible when passed the speaker elected from the government party was robert lederman of haliburton it is strictly a boys parliament adults have nothing to do with out- sessions or with the legislation our parliamentary procedure is very similar to that of our federal and provincial governments during the morning
