PLAYING FIELDS.

The Committee which has just reported on the provision of adequate playing fields for the Colony has tackled a huge subject. full of complexities and difficulties, in a manner which must command general approbation. So much is apparent from a study of the lengthy document which it has now presented. There will possibly be some difference of opinion on some of the preposals put forward, but it is evident that the Committee has approached the question from the right angle and has endeav- oured to outline the best means of immediate amelioration of an un-

MARIUS THE EPICUREAN?

All the noblest, tendencies of his day, met and mingled in the character of Marius the Epicurean, the titular hero of Walter Pater's novel.

A citizen of Rome in the... days of Marcus Aurelius,. Marius sought for a philoso- phy of life in the great creeds of his city and epoch, Stoicism, Epicureanism, and Christianity..

By temperament and up.. bringing, he inclinded to the system of the Epicureans, yet he was too honest. a thinker not to perceive the merits of Stoicism, which cult had re- cently great impetus from the active support of the emperor. On the other hand, he was. profoundly attracted to Chria-- tianity, which appeared to confer upon its devotees that blessed peace of mind which ia the end and aim of all philosophy.

Professedly, Marius re- mained an Epicurean to the conclusion of, his all too short life, but the manner of his death was such that the Christian Church claimed him? Into the ranks of its martyrs. In the words of a critic: "He is at once a reminiscence: of Roman greatness, in the past and a prophecy of the Christian future."
