At the same time the Philistine attitude of the East End matron is not overlooked in Phil May's picture. Much depended on the spirit in which this campaign of enlightenment was conducted, and _Punch_ continued to rebuke and satirize the lack of sympathy and comprehension shown by the fashionable "slummer." He had "no use" for people like "Mrs. Slumley Smirk," the District Visitor, who asked to be warned if any illness was about, as then she wouldn't wish to come near; and he was even more satirical at the expense of Socialism as conceived by certain members of the aristocracy--_vide_ the imaginary interview with "Lady Yorick" in 1905--who sought to have it both ways, and, as I notice elsewhere, represented a new and inverted type of snobbery. For the scandal of the insurance of poor children's lives he held not the parents, but the "Bogus Insurance sneak," mainly responsible. He is at least half in sympathy with the soliloquy in St. James's Park of the Socialist loafer who deprecates the amount of food wasted on the ducks and swans. He applauds the revival of Folk Dancing in 1903; in 1905 there is a long and charming sketch of an old Cambridge bedmaker who had recently died at an advanced age; and in the following year _Punch_ published a delightful imaginary description of a socialistic experiment, by which poor children were sent on visits to "upper-class" families, and treated as guests and equals, to the mutual profit of both classes. The scheme is suggested as an improvement on bazaars and similar activities. On the other hand, _Punch_ indulges in ironic comment on the result of well-meant efforts to teach poor children to "think imperially"--a subject on which he spoke with more than one voice. In an Empire Day Essay a London school-child wrote in 1908:-- "There are a lot of Empires like Chinese Empire, Hackney Empire, Stratford Empire, and Russian Empire. Hackney Empire is different to ours because they sing there, and ours is places." [Illustration: THE CAPTURE OF WINDSOR CASTLE by the Boy Scouts.] [Sidenote: _The Boy Scout Movement_]
